As a visual artist, textures have always fascinated me.  I make hand-embossed imprints and visual textures from natural and human-made surfaces.  The only tools I use are my hands.  My work ranges from the metal surfaces of a World War II-era P-51 Mustang aircraft to the natural stone landscapes of the Blue Ridge Mountains that are 300 million years old.

Recently I have been experimenting with vintage photography processes, namely cyanotypes and photograms.  I harness the power of the sun to capture imagery of native plants and flowers found in these beautiful mountains.  You can currently find my work in Marquee Gallery in Asheville, NC.  I am also a member of the Haywood Arts Council in Waynesville, NC, where I live with my family and my two orange tabby cats.  Check out more of my work at https://www.jfisherart.com/
