Born in Brooklyn, Fisher studied at the Brooklyn Institute of Art & Science and the Pratt Institute in New York. He gained recognition as an illustrator in the 1920s and 1930s, but had settled in Kennebunkport, Maine by the late 1940s where he focused on painting the landscape in a bold modern style with heavy impasto.
