Orcas Center’s Visual Arts Committee (VAC) is excited to present featured artist, Peter Fisher in the lobby, and a community show with the theme of "Orcas Retrospectives" in the Madrona Room. “2025 is the 50th Anniversary of my first art exhibition; it was at Tacoma Art Museum when I was 18 and a high school senior. The group show was called “Photography 1975” and their jury chose 5 of my entries. Luckily, my high school history teacher had worked for Ansel Adams and taught the “Zone System” so I was producing artwork that I still sell by 1974. In 1983 I moved to Orcas and opened my photography business. This exhibition provides a sampling of my favorite images from a lifetime of making art. Orcas Island is my favorite subject matter but I enjoy photographing everything from flowers to ferries. Nature is my primary muse but whatever catches my eye is fair game: my artist’s statement is “everything is connected – I see, feel and photograph the energy connecting everything.”
