Imagine, a fish that is afraid to swim! Yes, Megan and Rosie share a love for the absurd. From disguising a Ford Escort as a Peacock to forcing forks into a "Wonder Shredder" cheese grat Streeter, whatever they make extends the definition of art. Megan O’Brien received a BA in Liberal Arts from Utah State University and Rosie Morgan a BFA in Sculpture from Washington University in St. Louis. Both women enjoy continuing their education. Thanks to Fraidy Fish, and The Psychology of Salmon, they learned that the best way to overcome a phobia is to convert that fear into positive energy. Fraidy's irrational fear prepares her to face the Alaskan waters ahead armed with every safety precaution imaginable. Her fishy friends may not appreciate the strength of her coping mechanisms. Yet, one can never have too many floatation devices, even if you are a salmon.
