Her exuberant palette is just one reason I love the work of Arline Fisch. Her work is reminiscent of sea life (appropriately for someone named Fisch), but with atypically luscious colors. Fisch has long been acclaimed for the exquisite craftsmanship of her woven metal sculpture; in fact, she was honored with the ACC's College of Fellows Gold Medal in 2001. See more Fisch here.

Can't get enough craft? Neither can we. Heck Yes Craft is a series of visual blog posts with a simple mission: to show off amazing work. Come back every Friday for more.
