Jan Fisher was born in 1938 in Westwood, California. He attended Brigham Young University on an art scholarship where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree. He continued his education at Mills College in Oakland, California where he studied with the famous master, Antonio Prieto. At Mills College, he received his Master of Fine Arts Degree.

During a three-year period in Samoa, he fell in love with the Polynesian people. Much of his recent work reflects that feeling for the people of the Pacific Islands.

Over the past years, he has been commissioned to create many
of the monumental bronze sculptures that adorn the resorts and
parks across the Hawaiian Islands, including the Duke Kahanamoku
Centennial Monument in Waikiki, and fifteen larger-than-life Hawaiian
sculptures for the Grand Wailea Resort & Spa.
