Don Douglass has celebrated art all his life and in retirement he has opened a studio and gallery in his Hiddenbrooke home. For 15 years, Don was a Regional Fine Arts Officer for the Federal Government’s General Services Administration’s Art in Architecture Program where he oversaw the commissioning of artworks by major American artists that were placed in federal buildings and courthouses throughout California, Arizona, Nevada, and Hawaii.
Don began selling his own paintings around 1990 and his portrait art now hangs nearby at Jesse Bethel High School and the Solano County College, but also in places across the United States and as far away as Costa Rica and Europe. His current works focus on African/ethnic expressions, landscapes and abstract works using the simple patterns, images and colors found in African masks and art. Also, he continues to accept commissions for portraits and other subjects. “Art feeds me,” Don says. “I like how my art makes people happy.”
