Description
Self Portraits is an autobiography of sorts. Lea M. Fisher created a series of self-portraits between 2017 and 2021. These self-portraits do not represent her in a literal sense, in terms of her physical appearance, but rather they are more inner self-portraits that depict her personal journey. Each portrait may embody a thought, an emotion, or Fisher's experience of an important person in her life. Each work of art is the pictorial representation of Fisher's mental landscape with all its ups and downs, sharp turns, and unexpected detours. Accompanying each painting is a text that describes Fisher's life growing up with parents who were addicts, how she has dealt with abuse on many levels, and ultimately how she has healed and recovered as best she can. It is Fisher's sincere hope as you view her portraits and read her words that you might see some small part of yourself and know you're not alone (especially if it is a little scary to look at certain things). Fisher hopes that her story will paint the picture that pain is only the bridge to joy, and that bridge is an integral part of each and every one of our journeys.
