Fish and Coral Reefs

I have created hundreds of fish over the years. Most were small wallhangings, which I framed. I chose fish as a subject partly for their interesting shapes, but primarily for their vibrant and varied color. Creating individual fish naturally led to creating entire scenes. Here’s a small selection.
