Opened by John Fisher in May 2000, the
Fisher Studio & Gallery in Pittenweem is now in its ninth year. It
shows work by a wide range of contemporary painters and applied
artists,
most of whom work in Scotland. While the majority of the exhibiting
artists are well established and popular with collectors, the gallery
also encourages new talented artists.
Most of the exhibitions feature the paintings of resident artist
Jan Fisher who has exhibited widely in Scotland, in London and in
Bristol. She taught in schools and colleges in the west of England
before moving to the Highlands in 1973 where she found inspiration
for the subjects of her work. Her oil paintings and watercolours
explore ways of depicting the beauty and the drama of the Scottish
landscape and seascapes off the Scottish coast.
The gallery publishes a range of limited edition giclee
prints.
The current exhibition continues with paintings and craftwork,
and introduces paintings by two young artists, Marie Louise
Wrightson, winner of the Pittenweem Bursary in 2007, and Yvonne
Healy, both with very promising careers ahead of them and selling
well elsewhere. Also showing are two well established artists new to
the Fisher Gallery, Roland Fraser with exquisite wood work and
Brian Baxter's bird watercolours. Georgie Young and Jan Fisher
are also taking part and later on the work of Isabella Colville. Glass work from Paul Barcroft,
ceramics from Oathlaw Pottery, Mary Chapelhow and Paul Marley,
enamel work from Lewis Banks and driftwood clocks from Garry Brown.
The exhibition will continue on a "rolling" basis until the end of July when we'll be hanging
the Pittenweem Arts Festival Exhibition opening on Friday 31 July at
7pm.
The Festival Exhibition will feature work by Jan Fisher, George
Gilbert, James Fraser, Roland Fraser, Nicola Martin and Marie
Louise Wrightson.
