| Born
in Coventry, Jan Fisher studied Fine Art at Coventry College of Art
and a post graduate in Education at Kings College, Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
She lived
in Bristol for several years, teaching in schools, lecturing in
Fine Art at Bristol College of Art and worked as a free-lance painter/designer
taking on a variety of interesting commissioned works in public
places. While living in England she took part in major exhibitions
in London, Bristol, Cardiff and elsewhere.
Jan moved
to the Scottish Highlands in 1973 spending 2-3 years at a time living
in often remote parts of Sutherland, Wester Ross, Argyll and the
Grampians, hill-walking with a sketchbook, exploring ways of depicting
the beauty, the light and the drama of the Scottish landscape. Working
mainly in oils and watercolour, Jan has successfully exhibited in
several galleries throughout Scotland.
Now living
in Pittenweem, Fife, many of her paintings feature the big skies
and seascapes over the Firth of Forth and the coastal villages fringing
its shores, although often returning to west coast subjects. In
2000 Jan and John Fisher opened the Fisher Studio & Gallery,
Pittenweem, showing new works by Jan and a diversity of artworks
by mainly established and newly graduated Scottish artists.
