A life-long artist & inventor.

 

Douglas Stewart was born in 1960 at Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Douglas immigrated to the United States with his family in 1964, and was sworn in as a citizen of the United States in1978.

​

Douglas lives with his wife, Honour, a visual artist (honourplants.com), at their studio on Old Mission Peninsula, Traverse City, Michigan, USA in the Summer, and Winters are spent at their studio in Asheville, NC.

​

The, "As Seen on TV', series of oil paintings are in the technique of pointillism. Due to a ten year battle with Parkinson's, a neurological disorder, Douglas lost the ability to hold a paint brush steady in his hand because of rhythmic tremors.

 

As an artist it was a devastating realization. Not willing to put art aside, he decided to apply the technique of pointillism using the persistent tremors and a keen sense for color and precision, not unlike the French painter Georges Seurat of the late 19th century.

​

Douglas uses many tools developed throughout the history of art and has evolved new tools to accommodate the limitations imposed by his illness and his own unique artist's vision.

​

Although never having had the opportunity to attend University, he held many positions in the field of Engineering and he has invented, and patented, many inventions familiar to Americans.

 

Douglas is an autodidact.

 

Douglas believes that art is invention and that we are all artists, and therefore we are all inventors.
