Two of our guest commentators on bethepro.com are from the world of concrete art. They come to this new field from different (and unusual) paths:

Gerald Taylor

Gerald is a railroad conductor by trade, but an artist at heart.  He started his artisan life in his wife’s jewelry store working on everything from gold and silver custom jewelry to personalized gun stocks.  Since he’s a dedicated DIYer, Gerald started experimenting with jewelry concepts in other materials, including concrete.  The rest is history.

Steven Ochs

Steven is a life-long artisan, which is evident in his work as a full-time art professor at Southern Arkansas University.  He’s worked in a variety of mediums and materials, but found a unique home in public art, which has a strong connection to concrete.  Although he paints the concrete surface, he’s comfortable with grinder and chisel.  If you’re looking to expand into decorative concrete, start with our bethepro.com professionals.  Maybe there’s some art education in your future.  And look for Gerald Taylor and Steven Ochs in the Bosch booth at World of Concrete, January 24-27.
