Amy Crews is one of ten Alabama artists chosen to paint one of Gadsden's Big Fish. Her fish will be entitled "Fish Sticks" and will feature a bird's nest pattern of sticks and twigs.

Title: Fish Sticks Materials: Oil on fiberglass Artist's comment: I’d like to introduce you to “Fin”. My family and I grew quite attached to this big fish when I painted him. He was the best pet we ever had and the basement seems empty without him. The sticks design and idea was inspired by the many bird nests that I’ve painted.
