Born in Vancouver in 1911, Fisher studied at that city's School of Art under Group of Seven painter Fred Varley. His major pre-war work was painting murals with two other artists for the B.C. pavilion at the 1938 San Francisco World's Fair, depicting scenes from the province's economic life. The giant murals, which required him to work 15 hours a day for five months, were a far cry from the quick, vivid sketches made under fire on a Normandy beach 1944.
