For the month of June, The Gallery at the Glen Rock Public Library welcomes the watercolor paintings of June Fisher-Markowitz.
June Fisher-Markowitz is native to New Jersey and lives with her husband in Wayne. June has always had an interest in art, and with a very humble portfolio, she was accepted to William Paterson College where she was drawn to painting and pottery classes. June graduated in 1970 with a major in Visual Arts and a minor in Art Education, which started her career path in teaching. She then pursued graduate work in painting, pottery and creative arts therapies. Once her children were school age, she quit her job in education and began a pottery business, where she developed a unique style of decorating that incorporated her love of painting and working with clay. June dedicated herself to working with watercolors, taking numerous courses and entering her art into shows throughout northern NJ. In June’s words ‘Most important of all is that I now have the time to paint – for a painter must paint. Painting pulls my soul and spirit from inside to the visual experience of an image on paper.”
