Sally Caldwell Fisher |
Born and raised in the mid-west,
Sally Caldwell Fisher was given watercolors at an early age
by her Mother, also an artist and was always provided with good
materials to work with. After graduating form the University
of Michigan in 1972, Caldwell Fisher moved to coastal New England
where she has been painting her favorite subjects ever since.
An avid collector of antique photographs and reproductions,
she is constantly finding inspiration in, and therefore, keeps
an eye to the past. |

The Dog Show
Artist Sally Caldwell Fisher loves exploring the leisure time
activities of her colorful subjects and what better place to
do so than at The Dog Show.The prestigious Morris and Essex
Kennel Club, founded in 1927 by Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge,
is the setting for this fun-filled canvas. “This painting celebrates
Mrs. Dodge’s original vision,” says Caldwell Fisher, who employed
many images from the Kennel Club archives in formulating her
composition.“The Club’s posh landscaping, the elegant attire
befitting the times, and, of course, the universal theater involving
dogs and their indulgent owners gave me great license to have
fun.”With many eccentric subjects of both the two and four legged
variety, Sally Caldwell Fisher’s delightful The Dog Show is
a dog fancier’s dream come true. |
