Whangarei–born Charlotte Fisher is a graduate of Auckland University’s Elam School of Fine Arts. She completed a Bachelor of Arts in 1980 at Auckland University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1989 at Elam.

Fisher lives and works as a practising sculptor in Auckland, exhibiting regularly and contributing works to public and private collections around the country. In August 1998 the Whangarei Art Museum mounted a survey exhibition of her work. Following this, she was involved with Sculpture 2001, a millennium project aimed at installing eight new sculptures in the Auckland Domain grounds. Her work Arc was completed in December 2004 and is situated on Centennial Walkway.

Fisher creates her organic, abstract forms with bought, salvaged or donated demolition or recycled wood combined with found natural objects. The resulting works are simple, primitivistic explorations of form, scale and solidity.

Charlotte is returning to headland SCULPTURE ON THE GULF for the second time. Her 2007 work, The Sea Around Us: Hole, Slot, Bearing, Sighting, Slit 2007 is pictured above.
