Doug Williamson

Doug Williamson is a young graduate from the University of Calgary Fine Arts program. His major was in Sculpture, but upon completion he traded the hammer and chisel for the brush and palette. A majority of Doug’s interest lies in the works of the old Dutch masters, therefore after university he sought to further his education with renowned American painter David Leffel. This neo-classical training facilitated the 'Alla Prima' approach to painting, and for Doug this wet into wet style not only deepened his respect for the Renaissance master, but Impressionists alike. He says, “To me painting is an enigma; It is ever evolving in subject, concept, and application. But whatever changes it may take, it is still about the paint.”
Doug currently resides in Calgary, Alberta and teaches part-time at a local art studio. His work is shown with Wallace Galleries Ltd. in Calgary, Alberta, and is in numerous private and corporate collections across Canada, U.S.A., and Europe.
