Ginny Fisher

Ginny Fisher has painted since she could talk. Watching her mother masterfully work oil paints and watercolours in her home studio was the beginning of a lifelong passion for the arts.

She studied Art History at the University of Canterbury and journalism in Sydney. She worked as a journalist in New Zealand and New York for well over a decade, covering the arts, and working on photoshoots for editorial spreads. While living in New York, Ginny studied Fine Art, majoring in print making at Parsons School of Design. On relocation to San Francisco, she took photography classes and began taking on photography projects for local businesses.

Ginny blends the three disciplines of photography, printmaking and painting into her visual process. She will often use images taken from her Clevedon farm as starting points for paintings and prints. Landscapes, animals, and figures from her past often morph into more abstract territory, and her palette takes a distinctly earthy feel.

Her role as arts writer for Viva Magazine over the past six years continues to fuel her interest in all areas of the visual art world. She has exhibited in the United States, the United Kingdom and Auckland and sells her photographic prints online.
