Fishcakes accidentally became a business in 2001. I didn't have a plan, just some animal drawings on cards, and canvas patches with toothy monsters bearing warnings: I'm Grumpy. I'm Weird. I Disobey.

​

The creatures I make come from a colorfully expressive Monsterverse where real and imagined animals lead rich, emotional lives of joy and adventure. I bring these experiences to life through sewing, sculpting, screen printing, stitching, and crochet. My art is full of color, texture, and delight. My hope is that it encourages you to find amusement and wonder in the world, and to remember to take time to frolic.

I love color, 🏳️‍🌈 being queer, snacks, and naps, and do all my monster-making in Providence, Rhode Island under the supervision of three small dogs who bark a lot and remind me to take breaks.
