| 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.
