I was fortunate enough to review Annie Sessler’s fish prints in person at the Lincoln Center Crafts Festival. After being raised on the south Florida coast, I was instantly homesick! Annie stays busy creating her work in Montauk, NY. while running her beautiful website: East End Fish Prints. It was great to learn about Annie’s world of fish printing. The Japanese used this technique named gyotaku, (Japanese for fish rubbing) to record their catch before the advent of photography. Annie and her fisherman husband, Jim Goldberg, choose to use water-based non-toxic inks and paints preserving the edible quality of the fish. Now who said your dinner can’t be art?! -Christy Kolar
