Gary Fiedel retired in December, 2022, after 50 years as a tax accountant and financial advisor. In 2000 he co-founded grateful.org, a website devoted to grateful living.
Primarily self-taught, he started painting when he was a teenager growing up in Brooklyn. He enjoys listening to classical music while painting which influences his work and experience.
StatementI paint with oil on canvas and I enjoy playing with combinations of colors and free-flowing shapes that seem ethereal and dreamlike. I do not usually start with an idea but wait until something stimulates me. Then I pick out a paint color, choose a brush size, and begin. It is often surprising to me when different forms appear from my brushstrokes.
