John Douglas’ art is deeply affected by his world travels as well as his life growing up in the Southwest. The results are an intriguing mix of classic and modern sensibilities. Pursuing an education in fine art at Arizona State University as well as coursework in California Douglas intensively studied drawing, painting and other mediums of art. The aged beauty of Greek and Roman aesthetics like columns and ancient mosaic patterns to the exotic palms of the British West Indies and the royalty of the Renaissance have all found their way into his art.
