Lew Watanabe is who I want to be when I grow up.

He is a reknowned stone artist, has published a book and is also a really nice person.

His installations are beautiful and he does fountains.

This bench weighs about three tons and is magnificent.

All of these pieces were on display at the LA County Arboretum in Arcadia at the annual Garden Show. Lew who is a friend of Ed Clare my electrician told me about the display and I braved the crowds last Sunday and went down to see his work and talk to him. What an inspiration. I bought a copy of his book “Master of Stone and Light” on Amazon.
