Item Description

"In Cod We Trust" by Melissa S. MacDonald

Medium: Paper

Size: 19" x 8"

Artist Statement:

I am acutely aware of the historical and financial significance that our fishermen and the cod have played in Marblehead and our nation. This is my modern day take on the Golden Cod. I thought it would be a clever play to decorate it in Benjamins - the cod is swimming in cash!

Artist Biography:

I was born and raised in this beautiful town and a member of the Old North Church. The Golden Cod has been in my vernacular since I can remember. It only seems fitting to create a cod with that in mind. This was a family affair that could have happened without everyone's ideas and inspiration.

Artist Website:

Hosting Business: "In Cod We Trust" is on display at FL Woods, 76 Washington St, Marblehead, MA
