Douglas’s journey from celebrated ad-world creative to full-time painter is a story of coming home to his first love—art. A graduate of OCADU and former Chief Creative Officer at Ammirati Puris, he built a career leading award-winning campaigns for brands like Labatt and Unilever before returning to painting in 2023. Now an active member of the Society of Canadian Artists and the Federation of Canadian Artists, with work recently juried into the Society of Canadian Artists’ 2025 International, Douglas paints out of his Nobleton and Muskoka studios. Represented by The Jacklope Gallery Toronto, his work is held in private collections across Canada and the U.S.
