Born in Bristol
in 1972, Doug became aware of his artistic talent at an early age.
Throughout
his school and college education he concentrated on the technical side of
drawing and painting, but after graduation he was in no doubt as to his
chosen career, that of a professional artist.
Doug prefers to produce his distinctive artwork on a large scale, in
order to achieve maximum impact with each piece.
He also enjoys operating in plenty of space, thus allowing
himself enough physical freedom to express the creative energy that is
the key to his fresh, contemporary style.
His unorthodox use of pastels applied with fingers and
thumbs or even the side of a hand or wrist, allows him to create highly
communicative and engaging images that make an immediate and lasting
impression on the viewer.
Inspired by his own emotional responses to life,
Doug's intention is to provoke an emotional response in others; his
success in this aim can be seen by the huge impact his newly released
collection has made on the British art scene.
As one of the UK's most innovative and
uplifting young artists, we look forward to his inevitable rise with
great excitement!
