"Fisher...typically casts family and friends (individually and in pairs) as protagonists in psychologically open-ended Rorschach tests."
- Harry Roche, "Jane Fisher at Hackett-Freedman," Artweek, Oct. 1998

"Her paintings' artificially lit backgrounds of green rooms, yellow interiors, and brown cement walls close behind her dully pensive figures, illuminating inchoate sadness."
- Apollinaire Scherr, East Bay Express, 1998

"Fisher's paintings are both subtle and direct in their evocation of a psychological state - the human comedy."
-Program: Jane Fisher Paintings and Drawings, Chicago Cultural Center, 1992

"In each work, we are left to ascertain the state of the subject and somehow reconcile Fisher's deft, modeled technique with her compelling yet disturbing imagery as she pushes the boundaries between drama and trauma."
- Review of "New Drawings", Struve Gallery, Chicago,
New Art Examiner, 1991
