Russell W. Fisher / Fisher StudioRussell W. Fisher / Fisher Studio
My watercolor paintings reflect a quiet realism in a variety of subjects that include rural landscapes, picturesque barns, country stores, historic sites, animals, birds and flowers. My art is represented in numerous private and corporate collections worldwide.
I am a self-taught artist and have been painting professionally for over 20 years, however my love for art has existed since childhood.
I like the personal connection with my clients and truly enjoy selling at the Nelson Farmers’ Market. I always have a selection of original paintings and prints available in my Afton studio and the Valley Green Gallery, Valley Green Center Nellysford. I truly cherish my God- given gift to express what I see through watercolor paintings.
