Mythology from the Real World by Gary Siebel

A photographer’s eye with an artist’s mind, creating mythology from the real world. Gary Siebel’s pictures are inspired by real-world scenes and locations, and then artistically rendered to express his inner vision. Using both painting and photography, he gives the viewer a beautiful interpretation of what can be from simply what is, turning what is real on its head. The image of Death among the trees began as the statue in the picture window of his childhood home. As Siebel says, “I have a photographer’s eye. But make up something interesting — create a myth, or legend — it helps in the art world.”

Gary Siebel is an old guy existing in the watery wonderland of the great Pacific Northwest, partially deranged, and completely ridiculous in lifestyle, considering the weather. “It took me 32 years to graduate from the University of Washington, a fact not relevant to anything I can think of at the moment. Not sure why I even mentioned it, except perhaps to serve as padding. What the heck do you need to know, anyway?”
