Sally Caldwell Fisher portrays in her images a
world brimming with charm and simplicity.
Attracted to the whimsical, she illustrates
everyday life in rural America with humor and
grace. Inspiration for her images comes from her
surroundings, often a favorite locale or fond
recollection.
Ms. Fisher’s sometimes irreverent sense of humor
and zest for humanness in us all is the hallmark
of her painting. Each of the images I paint is for
me a process of discovery, Fisher says. In every
one there is the evocation of a story.
Born and raised in the Midwest, Sally attributes
much of her humor to the special camaraderie
she shared with her four brothers and sisters.
After graduating from the University of Michigan
in 1972, she moved to coastal New England
where she discovered her favorite painting
subjects.
Over the past ten years Sally has gained
recognition in the United States for her scenes
of coastal life. Her work hangs in prominent
public, private and museum collections across
the country, most notably The White House
and the Smithsonian Institution.
