Barbara Fisher

Artist Biography

 

Barbara Fisher was born in New York City, was educated in Colorado and California, and lived on the West Coast for many years before settling in North Carolina. She has been awarded numerous residencies and grants, and her work has been exhibited throughout the country.

 

Fisher's mixed media paintings incorporate her personal vocabulary of iconic forms, glyphs and objects into mysterious compartment and landscape-like spaces. The relationships between these elements are mysterious and dynamic, and they result in a new and strangely harmonious reality. Recent bodies of work explore the concepts of balance and the passage of time.
