I would first like to tell you  a little bit about myself and how the idea of palmfish came about. Well the fish idea is something that came about I think because of my environment growing up by the ocean which was huge and the nature of all that's around you is all inspiring. It also helped that I love art as well, which makes you look at everything in all dimensions ,and is great for new discoveries .Also if you could pick something that really was a big inspiration. It was the  flower and plant business which I was in while growing up ,made me see the possibilities of plants for art and design .There you have it .Those three things Ocean ,art and horticulture created the palmfish idea ,and a lot of work.

Oh yes having a friend with a backyard full of palm fronds  was  pretty important too.

  It's been almost thirteen years ago. And now I think they are all around the world in homes and in business's . The fish were stage props in two TV  series  both were filmed here in San Diego.

"Pensacola Wing of Gold " was one and the  other was called "High Tides"

Also in many fine restaurants like

"The Cabana" in :Laguna Beach

"The Coyote Grill " in Laguna Beach

" Fins the Restaurant " in San Diego

"The Beach House " in San Diego

"Cass St Bar and Grill" in Pacific Beach and many more .

In 2003  my fish were at the entrance of the San Diego County fair . That  year  the theme was called  Commotion by the Ocean .They were also at the fair in 2002  and the landscaping show won five awards.

Also you can see the fish at Seaworld  we have a little fish garden there .
