Inktober 2018

Hi everybody! 
I'm participating in Inktober this year.  My instagram account will be the place I share my daily doodles. I'm going to be doing simple black ink drawings. If you want the history or more info about Inktober just click the link. There is a prompt list. I might use it sometimes, but mainly I'll just be having fun. I will be recuperating from surgery for most of the month. So this is good timing.
I hope you join in! If you do either tag me or message me so I can see.

Hi everybody! Happy Summer! I hope you are having a wonderful time. 
If you have ever wanted a folk art, low brow, HAPPY PatriciaFish and you aren't nearby...now is your chance. I'm finishing up a new school and I'm going to load them into my Etsy shop. I'll let you know exactly when here. Probably Friday. I will also be adding all of my available original paintings.

Happy 2015!

Hi! Better late than ever. I wanted to share my first painting of the year with you. Nest Under the Sea is for a group show that opens tonight at The Globe here in town. The show is titled Medium and there's some really great local art. I'm still recovering from the flu, so I'm not sure I'll be there, but go and have fun! It'll be a good party.

My painting for Small Things

This group show is hanging at The Globe, here in Berlin, MD for the rest of this month. A percentage of the sales goes to help support Art and Entertainment. This is my painting...

Our First Batch of Tables!

Jason built these tables entirely from reclaimed wood. we have been having so much fun collaborating. these guys are on display at The Art Institute and Gallery in Salisbury, MD till mid November. i am right now getting ready for Bazaart at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, MD - always held the Friday evening and Saturday after Thanksgiving, then the Friday evening and Saturday after that I will be participating in the Monster of a show in Baltimore. i will post more info on both of those shows soon! great holiday shopping! there will be a pile of these new tables as well as paintings on wood and canvas and LOTS of very unique stocking stuffers. if you see something you like on here...just send me an email.

our new coffee table

This is our new coffee table....and we love it! Even if we do say so ourselves. It was a collaboration between Jason and I. He built it using all scraps and found wood and I painted it. I will be adding a lot more bugs to the top as time goes on. I need to get to work on new inventory for upcoming shows.
We are starting a line of painted tables. All built from reclaimed wood and construction scraps. Jason designed incredibly sturdy and useful tables. He's so talented! So... more on this coming soon. Thank you so much for looking, please let me know what you think.

There is a Whale in the Garden

I just finished a new painting. It will be on display at The Rehoboth Art League through August.
I love the idea of things being askew and a whale in the garden is just that. He's not sure how he got there....but he likes it and so do all the garden creatures. Thank you so much for looking at my work.
