Welcome from FC Fisher

I am a contemporary landscape artist, inspired by the stunning places I see in Scotland. My work frequently features the wild beauty of the Highlands and the Western Isles. I also enjoy painting Scotland's historic monuments and buildings. Some of the painted subjects are iconic and well known, while others are more obscure. 

​

I generally apply acrylic paint thickly with a brush to board or canvas, but other materials and techniques are used at times. I am becoming increasingly expressive in my compositions and painting technique, bringing my subjects alive.

​​​​​​​

My recent work falls loosely into two categories. In the Timeless Landscapes Portfolio, I focus on places, often with buildings or monuments, that seem to be frozen in time. The Norse Mill (pictured) shows a serene landscape that appears un-changed since the Norse period around a thousand years ago. Like many historic places that feature in my work, the Norse Mill is set in a wild landscape. These ancient sites embody a harmony between the built and the natural environments. 

​​​​​​​​

In the Mountains and Shores Portfolio, the inspiration comes from the  sublime natural beauty of Scotland.  Some landscapes showcase Scotland's varied geology, flora and fauna. Glencoe lit up (pictured) shows the dramatic glen and its dual character. The landscape is simultaneously uplifting, in its spectacular scenery and ever-changing skies, but also edgy in atmosphere, haunted as it is by tragedy. Even the wildest landscapes have been shaped by human actions. They bear the physical and emotional marks of history.
