During these eight years in Europe, Fisher studied and exhibited in France, England, Germany and Spain.
Much of Deans work is portraiture. About his desire to make faces his subjects. “Since the age of seven or eight, when I first began to draw and paint, I have been fascinated by human faces and the incredible variety of expression, features and character.”
