100 Freshwater Fish cups
I started this project over a year ago with the intention of putting a spotlight on freshwater fishes. Most fish designs I see on pottery are trouts, salmons, and the like. But where are the colorful tetras, Amazonian cichlids, Australian blue eyed rainbows, wild bettas, Cory cats, Apisto cichlids, and everything else in between? There are so many colorful and wonderfully whimsical freshwater fish out there so I set out to create 100 porcelain cups and hand-painted 100 different species of freshwater fish on them.
I am now showing them at my Studio’s gallery in San Francisco (SMAart gallery and studio in the Mission). It took me over a year to finish this work, since pottery is just a passion hobby of mine and I’m soooo proud to finally have em all in display.
Many cups were already sold and went into their new homes when I took these pics, so forgive me if you counted the cups in the pic and don’t see all 100.
Anyway, thank you for allowing me to share my joy and work with yall here. 🥹
