Claire Perry Art
Welcome to Maine Fish Art.
Along the rockbound coast of Maine are many wonderful "FISH" just waiting to come to life. From HolidayBeach, to Smuggler's Cove, to Eggamoggin Reach and beyond...your very own FISH awaits you.
Whether you perfer the natural rustic look, or the brightly colored advant guarde...each has its very own personality and character.
Most are suitable for outside hanging. The larger ones look stunning over a cottage doorway, porch, or "hanging out" on your barn or garage. Outside "FISH" are treated with several coats of shellac to protect them from the elements, and weather very well...keeping their colors nicely with an occasional re-spraying. My personal cottage "FISH" has been hanging outside for years and still looks as good as the day it was made.

COMISSION PIECES of ART
Handsome Red Whale
His home is in Owl's Head Maine. The owners found this piece of wood on an island; kayaked it to me, and we all knew a RED whale was waiting to be born....per suggestion of Maryanne (homeowner), who has a wonderful eye for art and color in general.
Driftwood Sculptures Home/Garden
Brother Coyotyl - God's Song Dog
Coyote sits atop the Earth Mother Turtle and sings a song to all Creation This piece is full of positive Spirit and goodwill to all the wild ones; especailly our wise, and greatly misunderstood...Brother Coyote.
Red-billed Merganser Duck
Seen in Rockport Harbor, swimming in the winter, inspired this fellow with tons and tons of character. Double-sided, head swivels. Tailfeathers are square-headed nails.
FiSh Totems ( various sizes )
Found Object Assemblages
MEDIUM
WALTER
Walter is a big, solid fellow: 1 1/2 feet by 14" He has copper fins, old nails for dorsal fins and TEETH (of course). Like all my pieces...Walter is made from "found wood" along Maine's great Atlantic ocean. All wood used is in "as found" condition when assembling my pieces of art.
THE ANGLER
Handsome and rustic in appearance. Uncommon shape. Size is 2'(+) in length...a bit less in width. Found oceanwood, copper side fin, and purple sea-glass "dangler"........... CONTACT: fishart@live.com
This is a great FiSh to hang in a narrow space...such as over a window or doorway. Softly beautiful. Skeleton fish is copper.
SEA GULLS
MARGARET
Sweet little gull with swiveling head. 11" X 9 1/2 "...she is truly adorable. Margaret is made from wood cut to shape, with me being the designer-creator and artist (of course ). Margaret will be signed.
"BILL"
Not made of found wood, but great pieces of my own design. Each one has its own uniqueness and is made and hand-painted by myself (of course). This is a large gull and is almost 18 inches in length...hand painted with antique nail tail-feathers and nails for top-notch feathers. The head will swivel.
SOLD
SEBASTIN
Sebastian is a steady, kind, and benevolent soul. He is a guardian and protector. Sebastian was a special order fellow that came together so easily it amazed me. Everything just came into place like it was planned ahead of time...! Sebastian's roots hail from Islesboro, Maine; a small island off the mainland of the mid-coast area. His coloring is a soft muted blue and his fluke, spout and tail are made of copper. Sebastian will be starting his long swim home to Colorado with a very happy heart. I think I heard him say: "What took you so long?" He has a wry sense of humor.......
BIG BLUE WHALE
He speaks for himself. Hoping to be able to make more big ones, as they are such a delight to work on ! Taking commission work. Let me know what you like for your home-cottage; inside or out.
