Phenominal Phish by Paul Tefft
Welded Metal Fish Statues
Each piece is unique and has its own personality and character. They often are representing my mood at the time. Their form is dependent on my material sources. I never set out to make anything specific, they just take shape as the spirit moves me. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy making them for you. Have a look at my gallery and contact me with any questions.
About Paul Tefft
I grew up in the Santa Barbara area, where I received the Industrial Arts Student of the Year award. Later in life I worked at Oceaneering International, where I built commercial diving helmets. I obtained a USCG Chief Engineers license, and have owned a 10,000 foot welding and machine shop. Because of my years of welding experience I have been able to craft my art professionally and reliably.
