Dario Fisher
Illustrator, designer and printmaker
Dario Fisher was born in Swansea, South Wales (UK) in 1985 and grew up near the stunning Gower coastline – a designated area of outstanding natural beauty and early inspiration for his love of nature and conservation.
After graduating with a B.A. Hons in General Illustration now creates original artwork from his home studio, shipping art across the world.
Ever driven by travel, nature and art, the series of Whale illustrations was born out of an experience whale watching off the coast of California, in a nod to traditional printing processes and Japanese art.
In 2019 Dario has had work exibited in Bury St Edmunds as part of Norwich print collective “Off The Press”, as well as being comissioned to paint one of the leading sculptures for the ‘Cows About Cambridge’ art trail by Wild in Art, going live in 2020.
