Edna Fisher was born in 1941 in Israel to one of the founding families of the small town of Nahariya. She received her BA at the art academy Bezalel in Jerusalem and her MFA at the University of California in Irvine. She also holds a degree in landscape design and is deeply involved in environmental projects.
Growing up in her grandparent’s home in Nahariya she absorbed the broad culture of their German heritage. That culture and the landscapes and turbulent events of the Israeli reality are the basis for her art.
During her studies at UCI her main emphasis was in printmaking. She was especially interested in the traditional art of woodcutting but tried to distance herself from the traditional “look” of that art. She found her own language and created large scale woodcuts. With time she started to look for new ways to express her ideas, among them the incorporation of time and change into her art. She started to use non traditional, low materials which weather and wane and show the changes time creates. Beside drawings and woodcuts, her art includes installations, Art Performance pieces and objects created from non traditional materials.
Her allegorical approach creates a stream of associations in the viewer.
