ARTIST BIO

​Julie Fisher is a Virginia based fine art photographer. For the past nineteen years, she has been at the high school level helping teenagers find their path in art. She has watched her own artistic journey unfold alongside theirs. In January of 2017, Julie received her Master of Fine Arts in Photography degree from the New Hampshire Institute of Art. Since 2017, she has remained the Fine Arts Department Chair at Foxcroft School in Middleburg, VA. In addition to teaching Photography, she also has crafted a curriculum that bridges Fine Art, STEM, and community service. During her previous teaching position at Atlee High School in Mechanicsville Virginia, she implemented the International Baccalaureate Visual Arts Program , which is an extremely rigorous, college-level course that fosters globally minded artists and scholars. Her training encompasses the use of Emerging Media as a relevant mode of expression for students. In 2016, Julie received a National Endowment of the Humanities grant titled, “Legacy of the Civil War: Art and Changing Memories Over Time.” She has aligned her deeper interests in history, genealogy, and photography to research and record family homes from the Colonial era. With two children of her own, she is especially dedicated to learning about inherited histories. Her work brings together collective memories associated with landscapes and legacies from all across Virginia.
