SUMMARY:The Pat Fisher Memorial Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Pat Fisher Memorial Exhibition: Featuring Aaron Fisher & Freddie A. Young Jr.On View in our Siegal Gallery: August 4 – August 29\, 2026Opening reception during the August 5 Witherspoon-Jackson Community Princeton Safe Streets event from 5-7pm\nAbout the artists \nAaron Fisher:Princeton\, NJ is where it all began….. My mother says from the time I could hold a crayon\, I was drawing.  Artistic expression comes naturally.  Early influence came from my sister Pat\, who too is an artist\, and she encouraged me to hone my gift.  I attended Middlesex County College\, majoring in Marketing\, Art and Design.  I am currently the Visual Arts mentor for the New Brunswick area branch of ACT-SO (Afro- Academic\, Cultural\, Technological and Scientific Olympics)\, which is a yearlong achievement program designed to recruit\, stimulate and encourage high academic and cultural achievement amongst African-American high school students.Working on canvas and wood\, utilizing acrylic paint\, inks and colored pencil\, I focus on the human face layering the various colors to recreate expression\, character and life.  Details matter and with all my pieces\, I carefully attempt to recreate the details that make each face unique.  I have never encountered a dull subject and inspiration is readily available.  I work fervently to create works that express my admiration for the subject matter and in doing so\, I am hopeful that the gazer notices the details but also\, feels…I currently reside in Franklin Park\, NJ with Angela\, my beautiful wife of 30+ years and our daughter\, Kylie. \nFreddie A. Young Jr.: \nI am who I am. Not out of arrogance\, but out of return.In harmony with a plan already good\, already written before I showed up to live it.I came from clay\, and one day I’ll return to soil. This body is borrowed. This life is one long season of making memory\, before the memory is all that’s left. My Story is that memory\, held still long enough to look at.My camera is my eye. I capture people through real relationships\, conversations\, time spent\, genuine interaction… All because that’s where intimacy lives. I photograph people in their environment: whatever surrounds them that has shaped who they are. Their vibration. This has brought me into frame with athletes\, poets\, authors\, lifelong friends and most importantly\, the people I meet and choose to honor\, professionally and beautifully.This work is an extension of memory. It’s how I document what I’ve lived. The audience is whoever cares to see the world through my eyes. Alhamdulillah. One Love.
