About The Artist

Susan Fisher MA BFA Visual Arts has been an artist all her life.

Continuing her journey, she taught in Indigenous communities in Northern Alberta which inspired her to continue studies in the Masters Programme, Anthropology at Trent University, Peterborough ON CA, In the early 90's she discovered beeswax Encaustic and trained at R & F Handmade Paints to acquire expertise in this ancient and glorious medium. She has explored the rich possibilities of Encaustic in her artwork and in the classes she teaches for over 20 years. Her work has been exhibited widely in Canada and the USA. One terrific experience was exhibiting in Sagamihara Japan. "I delight in working with the beautiful luminosity, layering and texturing unique to Encaustic. Every piece is an exciting journey weaving photo images with painted layers to give a wonderful dynamic. As the light changes through the day different elements surface for the viewer to enjoy."
