Artists

Douglas is from Otautahi and has a strong connection to the sea. His artistic journey began when sculpting stone. However, when he later attended Wellington Art School he discovered a passion for painting with oil. Douglas has previously exhibited at Letham Gallery, Auckland; Allegory Art Gallery, Christchurch; Port Gallery, Lyttelton and the Christchurch Art Centre. His work is mainly oil on canvas, featuring atmospheric landscapes and street scenes, progressing to intertwining elements of abstract, shape and movement. He takes his inspiration from the land, the sea and the busy lives we lead today

Douglas’ exploration of his connection to his roots produces works that are bold and fresh.
