Edward Fisher Scenes from Maine

View the Online Exhibit

Watercolors by Averett Biology Professor, Dr. Edward Fisher are on display in Blount Library through November 30, 2005.

Dr. Fisher is a man of many talents. He has a lifelong interest in art, as well as in nature and biological sciences. Fisher experiments with many types of art, including landscapes, portraits, and sculpture such as woodcarvings of animals. He varies his canvases from acrylics, to oil sticks, to color pencils, and to watercolor. He joined the Averett faculty in 1968.

In the late fall and winter of 2004-2005, Fisher painted numerous watercolor landscapes of the shores of Acadia National Park in Maine. The landscapes displayed here are based on memories and photographs from ten years of exploring the Maine coast with Averett biology students.

The show features 52 watercolors depicting scenes from Fisher's travels in Maine. An avid outdoorsman, he teaches courses each year at the Humboldt Field Research Station in Steuben, Maine. Fisher, a self taught artist, paints his landscapes from memory and from photographs.

Edward Fisher's orginal works are available for a minimum donation of $50 to the Averett University endowment. Proceeds will be divided evenly among the Russell Brachman Scholarship Fund, Biology Fund, the Averett Student Center, and the Curtis Bishop Library Fund, earmarked for purchase of art books. We encourage donors to give generously in support of these programs.
