Gary Fisher
A brilliant artist who got his start in DC.
While he now lives in Rehoboth Beach, Gary Fisher is excited to let everyone know he will be exhibiting at Aqua Art Miami, during Art Basel week, December 4 - 8, 2024, with Nepenthe Gallery, booth #226.
Gary began his art career in a studio on 14th St. NW, in Washington, DC. Gary says he found painting, his passion, in mid-life, after a career as a natural resource and environmental attorney. He got active as a participant in the local art scene in D.C. as a founding member of the Mid-City Artists Group and created and managed the Gallery in Results the Gym, on Capitol Hill. Gary also served as the Managing Art Director for the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID). Today Gary says he creates primarily in his studio and surrounding gardens in Rehoboth, Beach. and is now an active member of the Rehoboth Art League.
Gary paints in oils and his artwork ranges from the textural abstract landscape work that has been the focus of his major recent work, to brilliantly colored still life, figurative paintings and recently he has had an interest in small plein air paintings inspired from the poppy fields of Provence, and his own beautiful gardens in Rehoboth.
When you ask Gary to talk about his are he says “My art is as an expression of the beauty I see all around me, particularly the coastal environment with its beautiful sunrises and sunsets reflecting off the wetlands and bays of Delaware, the gardens around my studio, or the amazing places I travel on my active biking, hiking, and painting trips. My paintings reflect my highly individual vision of the scenery or subject matter that surrounds me. Color dominates my vibrant surfaces as the play of light is expressed in applications of intense, and sometimes surprising hues. Paint strokes are infused with an exuberant energy. The results are dream-like canvases that evoke a sense of playfulness and spontaneity intended to encourage the observer to a place of your own inner reflections.” Gary’s canvases take on a life of their own, the results always fresh, unique, and exciting. Take a moment to see some of Gary’s amazing paintings.
Gary has his B.A. and J.D. from the University of Wyoming. He attended the Corcoran School of Art, Washington, D.C., and the Vander Zee School of Painting, Alexandria, Virginia. Gary is represented by Gallery 50, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware; and Nepenthe Gallery, Alexandria, Virginia.
