As a native of South Miami, Doug Foltz spent much of his life exploring – alone – on or around the water. Those elemental moments of sky, water, and the edges between form the foundation for Doug’s exploration as a painter. A passion for bold compositions and a deep respect for shifting light greatly influences Foltz’s paintings. His work both explores the expansion of space and the detail of coastal landscapes. Foltz’s landscapes attempt to say as much about the way a place feels as the way it appears. Although he has been painting and drawing since childhood, Foltz has an undergraduate and graduate degree in Architecture from Auburn University, and has spent 35 years as a professional architect, graphic designer, visual communication strategist, and corporate communication consultant. He currently divides his time painting in various locales, from the Bahamas to the Central Maine coast. Doug’s work hangs in private and corporate collections - from Seattle to the Bahamas and northern Europe - and has been exhibited widely along the east coast of the United States.
