Millions of visitors to beautiful Santa Barbara have admired and had their photo taken in front of the dolphin fountain at the base of the wharf. After 30 years, the sculptor has finally written his account of how the famous dolphin fountain was conceived and then built, step by step. Filled with wonderful color photos taken throughout the process, sculptor Bud Bottoms also relates how the tremendous influence of the local Chumash Indians and their culture contributed to this endeavor.
A beautiful keepsake book, "The Story of Santa Barbara's Dolphin Fountain" will have a special place in the historical documentation of the wonderful beach side community of Santa Barbara, of which the dolphin fountain is the central landmark. Bud has also created fountains and monuments in cities around the world, including Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Dingle Bay, Ireland, and Toba City, Japan.
