Information:
Finton Shaw was born in England, Arkansas on October 26, 1946. At a very early age he began showing an interest in drawing and sculpture. He remembers making figures from the mud in the rice fields when he was supposed to be working. Finton showed little interest in my studies at school. This caused much friction between he and his parents and consequently his art fell by the wayside.
Even with little encouragement, he still dabbled in art from time to time and kept the lust for it burning and alive. In the last few years Finton has made a commitment to seriously work on his art. His welded sculptures can be seen from the roadside of Highway 64, outside of Conway, AR.
