Doris MacDougall

I am a Canadian Artist living in Vancouver, B. C. I studied at Capilano College, graduating in 1981 (Clay & Fibre). For 28 years I was a partner at Zebo Designs Custom Furniture Finishers, as well as doing my art in a studio located at 1000 Parker Street in Vancouver. Recently I have closed the furniture finishing business and have moved to a new studio in the same building. This move has given me more creative time.

I have been painting since 1998. Drawing has often been the core of my work, whether it be drawing with my sewing machine, ink on paper, drawing into wet paint, ink and water colour.

I have a keen interest in botanicals, the bits and pieces, the small things in nature, as well as landscapes with an abstract twist.

My love of nature comes from my years of camping, hiking and travels, as well as gardens and parks. These have been the sources of my drawings and paintings.

I open my studio for visitors during the Eastside Culture Crawl, First Saturday Open Studios or can be available for studio visits. I am a member of The Federation of Canadian Artists as well as the North Vancouver Arts Council where I participate in the Art Rental Programme.
