Step into a space where ancient storytelling meets modern printmaking in Craig Fisher: Lines of Discovery, Expressions in Copper.

Inspired by the visual storytelling found in places like Egyptian temples and European stained-glass windows, Craig Fisher uses intaglio printmaking to create powerful images that speak across time and cultures. Intaglio is a technique where designs are etched or engraved into metal plates and then printed, producing rich textures and bold impressions that go beyond what a pencil or pen can do.

His work spans diverse subjects and is often executed on a large scale, balancing a disciplined process with the surprises that give prints their vitality. In a world awash in digital images, the physical presence of these prints reclaims space, inviting viewers to slow down and engage. Monumentality appears everywhere—from modest homes to industrial ruins—and geometric shapes drift through imagined landscapes to evoke distance and mystery. Lifelong curiosity about world cultures and the natural sciences further inspires work that sometimes reaches into the cosmos itself.

Visitors are also invited to learn more about the art of printmaking and the detailed techniques Craig Fisher uses in his work. The hands-on process of printmaking connects today’s viewers with a centuries-old tradition practiced by master artists throughout history. Guests can gain a deeper knowledge of the the skill, patience, and creativity involved in transforming copper plates into expressive works of art.
