Baker City watercolorist Rose Fisher is the featured artist this month at The Sycamore Tree, 2108 Main St.

Fisher grew up in Eastern Oregon. Though she always liked to draw, she

said she never had an opportunity to take any painting classes.

Then, while living in California, she signed up for an adult education class.

“I enrolled in a watercolor class and was hooked. I found a passion that until then I had never known existed,” she said.

Her subjects include birds, leaves, elk, florals – “everything but landscapes.”

“I paint whatever captures my imagination,” she said.
