His work was widely exhibited in Philadelphia, Pa., Montclair, Trenton, and Newark, NJ, the Currier Gallery in New Hampshire and the Brick Store Museum in Kennebunk, Maine.William Fisher and Margaret Kilburn were familiar and beloved figures in Kennebunkport. They taught generations of local children, and they participated in numerous exhibits with other artists, both in the Kennebunkport area and throughout Maine. Mr Fisher always insisted on marching in the local Memorial Day parade, until he was well in his 90's, because he didn't want to ride in a car provided for older veterans. Many homes in the Kennebunks have his works, including members of the Bush family, and they were purchased by numerous out of state and Canadian summer visitors. There are several examples of his works in the Kennebunkport Town Offices and in local churches.Fisher loved to paint "big" canvases, usually local Maine scenes in later years, done in a thickly painted, darkly outlined modernist style that had a distinct 1930's style about them. Margaret Kilburn, his partner, created fanciful, sparkling works in glass, baked in a kiln, that depicted birds, flowers, small human figures that were much in demand locally.They were a warm, delightful couple, who lived for their art, and who loved sharing their knowledge of art.Newspaper obituaries about William Fisher report that he died on March 9,1985 in Biddeford, Maine at a Biddeford nursing home. Material from his family dated his birth year as 1891, Brooklyn, NY. His wife, artist, Margaret Kilburn, died in 1984. His work is still carried by a gallery in New York City and by the Boston Art Club. Additional biographical material and some examples of his work may be seen at the Graves Memorial Library, Main St. in Kennebunkport, Maine.
