Doug
West has been capturing the magical skies and environment of
the great Southwest for over 20 years. His work has been exhibited
nationally and internationally with well over 50 one man shows,
along with an extensive list of publications and thousands of
serious art patrons who have collected his work.
During his career he has taken the art of print making and serigraphy
to exacting and masterful perfection while still retaining the
ability to portray the simplicity of a perfect frozen moment
in nature. In recent years he has also begun to creatively challenge
himself by expanding into plein aire oil painting as well as
monotype printing. He says that for him "art is a vehicle
for personal growth and challenge- a way of life. Through my
creative efforts I feel life has meaning by providing a constant
process of renewal and rebirth."
