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 also publishes a range of limited edition giclee
prints.
The Gallery is
currently showing paintings by Jan Fisher, James
Fraser, George Birrell, Madeleine Hand, John Kingsley, Ian Kinnear,
Jack Cove, Lynn MacGregor and John Davie. Sculpture by Alan Faulds. Ceramics by Wenna
Crockatt, Camilla Garrett-Jones, Paul Marley and Oathlaw Pottery.
Glass by Paul Barcroft. Driftwood clocks etc. by Garry Brown.
Enamel work by Lewis Banks.
Until the Christmas Exhibition in mid-November we will be showing a
rolling mixed exhibition.
