The first artist known to have painted her was Joshua Reynolds.
In addition to the portraits made famous through engraved prints that were marketed directly to the public, he did several other painting of Fisher that suggest a more intimate, private view.
Some of these appear to be unfinished studies.

Nathaniel Hone painted her at least once in 1765, at the height of her popularity, and possibly a second time as well.
His famous painting, now in the National Portrait Gallery, London, shows her with a kitten ('kitty'), which is trying to get at a goldfish in a bowl ('fisher').
Reflected in the bowl are the faces of a crowd of people, looking through a window.

Besides sitting multiple times for Hone and Sir Joshua Reynolds, she may have been painted by Philip Mercier, James Northcote, and Richard Purcell, among others.

Apart from the letters of Giustiniana Wynne, she is mentioned in the diaries and letters of people as varied as Madame D'Arblay and Horace Walpole.

In 1766, she married John Norris, son of the M.P. for Rye and grandson of Admiral Sir John Norris.
She came to live at her husband's family house, Hemsted (now the premises of the prestigious English public school Benenden School).
Some sources say she settled into the proper role of mistress of Hemsted, building up Norris's fortune and enjoying the company of the local folk, who liked her for her generosity to the poor.
Unfortunately, she died only four months after her marriage, some sources say from the effects of lead-based cosmetics (although this may be a confusion with the fate of her rival Lady Coventry), some from smallpox or consumption, in 1767.
She was buried in Benenden churchyard dressed in her best ball gown.
