Artist Biographies

SALLY CALDWELL FISHER

Attracted to the whimsical and envisioning dreamlike realities, Sally Caldwell Fisher illustrates rural American country life with a charming simplicity which includes favorite locations in her life and fond memories of trips off shore and 'down East.' Her paintings are imbued with spirited wit and all have a story to tell, some with humor and some with contrasting narrative; however, all elements are present in each painting to decipher the tale.

Born and raised in the Midwest, Caldwell Fisher attributes much of the humor she cherishes to the special bond she shares with her four brothers and sisters and, indeed, relationships among figures tell the story in many of her paintings. After graduating from the University of Michigan in 1972, the artist moved to New England where she discovered an affinity for the America sea and shore that she has explored ever since."Each of the images I paint is for me a process of discovery. In every one there is the evocation of a story. It gives me the greatest joy to infuse these tales with a bit of humor. Above all, I have a true affection and great respect for my subject matter."

The artist firmly believes in "...following what is in my heart, for I know that when one is truly willing to trust in the future, dreams do become reality." During the past ten years, Caldwell Fisher has received considerable recognition for her painterly storytelling with her work included in prominent private and museum collections across the country, most notably The White House and The Smithsonian Institution.
