Practicing and teaching as a fine artist and photographer for more than 20 years, Kurt Fishback is noted for his portraits of other artists and photographers in their personal spaces. Some of these portraits are featured in The Candy Store exhibit showing at The Crocker Art Museum through May 1, 2022.

Fishback earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (1967) in ceramics from the San Francisco Art Institute and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of California at Davis. He has taught art and art history at several institutions in North Carolina, Utah, and California.

His first major, one-person exhibit was held at the San Francisco Museum of Modern art in 1982. He is currently represented by the Camera Obscura Gallery in Denver, Colorado; and the Solomon/Dubnick Gallery and Appel Gallery in Sacramento, California.
