Welcome to our Fish Collection

Explore our collection of handmade wooden fish, featuring many of Shelly’s creations dating back to 2014. Her whimsical, designs have been showcased in notable Michigan galleries, including the Michigan Artists Gallery, Art & Soul Gallery, Ruth Conklin Gallery, and of course her own gallery; The Laughing Fish in Suttons Bay, Michigan.

Each fish is thoughtfully carved and hand-painted, making every piece a true original. We are pleased to now offer custom fish orders, allowing you to select colors, patterns, and sizes to create a design that perfectly fits your home or gift. Browse our gallery for inspiration, and if a past design catches your eye, we’d be delighted to recreate a similar piece just for you.

Please note: pricing may vary from past works shown below, as each fish is individually handcrafted and influenced by size, detail, and design complexity.
