Update to the update: Well, what do you know, I finally came through with all this talk of eventually getting better pictures. Of course, it helps that the owner of this piece is the wonderful Jennifer (Pienkoski) Goldstein, a gifted photographer and artist herself. This piece is the one that brings the most people to this blog (Hi! Stick around for the birds, they're nice too!). Even though it seems most searches are looking for live koi's, I think Jen can attest that these fishies are pretty low maintenance but just as zen like to have around. If your landlord would disapprove of you digging a koi pond in your third floor walk up, mosaic fish are the way to go.
At long last, a new one. A pair of lovely Japanese Koi fish. The pictures needs edited a bit but I wanted to post this asap! Enjoy. UPDATE: This piece has been sold and is now in a Los Angeles collection

Your work is awesome! The Koi fish are my favorite. Are they for purchase? I don't know if you have considered showing your pieces, but Austin,TX would be a great place. Austin is known for it's art & music scene. The more "off beat" the better! As a matter of fact our motto here is "Keep Austin Weird"! Good luck to you and I would be interested in finding out about purchasing some of your work.
Hi KLW, I'm afraid the Koi is sold! But my mosaics are for sale so if you see anything else you might be interested in, please send me an email. And yes I'm interested in showing them, open to ideas!

These fish are awesome... hats off to the awesome artist Kara!!! I strongly encourage people to invest their money in one of her mosaics...they really are stunning in person.
Hey Kara,
The koi are very cool. And they are sold?!!!! Wow. I still think my favorite is the kingfisher.
so...let me get it straight. These fish are made with your hands and you got them sold? That is great!!!! Hope the rest will sell as good as the koi then, right!? :-)
