Item Description
The custom-framed print is a traditionally executed hard ground etching titled Forest Edge. It is based on a spot near Amherst College where the artist once taught.
Stephen Fisher was born in 1954 in Sunbury, Pa. and spent much of his childhood moving as a classic “army brat”. The semi official beginning of his artistic career can be traced to a deal with his parents in the seventh grade, agreeing to give up the trumpet in favor of correspondence school art lessons. He is, in fact, an actual graduate of the Famous Artists School. After false starts in interior design and architecture Fisher earned a B.F.A. in painting and printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth University (1976) and an M.F.A. in printmaking from Yale University (1981). He resumed his traveling ways as an academic gypsy, teaching at five colleges in eight years before settling in at Rhode Island College in Providence as a Professor of Art where he specializes in printmaking and drawing, and aspires to the title of “Chief Printmaking Wizard”.
Fisher’s work has been exhibited in a variety of national and, occasionally, international venues and earned numerous awards in a wide range of competitions. His drawings and prints can be found in numerous public, corporate and private collections. Public recognition of Fisher’s efforts include a regional N.E.A. Fellowship, 3 Rhode Island State Council on the Arts Fellowships and a Graphic Media Achievement Award from American Artist Magazine.
