Jeremy Fish

Jeremy Fish was born in Albany, New York, in 1974. He moved west to attend the San Francisco Art Institute in 1994. Since then, he has called San Francisco home. His work is a balancing act of commercial illustration and gallery shows. His work concentrates on the balance of all things cute and creepy. His work is also a narrative, it tells stories using a series of symbols ranging from skulls to bunnies, and anything in between. A mixture of materials and hand-cut woods are used as the mediums for his fairy tales. Fish directs a lot of his work at a younger audience and feels art should be available to everyone, not just those who can afford to enjoy it.
