George Sacco was born in Sommerdale, Ohio in 1935 to Thomas and Minnie Sacco. Sacco graduated from Dover High School and was a Marine Veteran. He was an assistant Professor of Art at Kent State University and owned Plum Creek School of Pottery. Sacco’s Fishie Mon Masters the Ancient Samurai Art of Horsemanship sculpture is a mini panorama about his life. The figure on the horse is the artist George Sacco. He is holding a fan and sword which has pierced a fish. To his right is his friend and companion, Mary Maxwell, holding a camera and ball, and perhaps she is attempting to take a picture of Sacco. The horse is on a wagon and is being pulled by his faithful golden retriever - he has a fish in his mouth. Sacco passed away in 2014 at the age of 78.
