Doug Hyde

Voted the “most popular living artist in the UK” by BBC TV National news, Doug Hyde’s international success has gone from strength to strength. He was born in Bristol in 1972 and started painting at an early age, concentrating on the technical aspect of drawing and painting at college. In 2002 he was painting for friends and family and by 2005 he was painting professionally, winning an award for Best Selling Published Artist at the Fine Art Trade Guild Awards. Doug begins work in his studio, referring to his ‘ideas box’ (a collection of drawings/scribblings noted down on pieces of paper) for inspiration. Doug likes to work in pastel and likes to work on a large scale and with plenty of space to allow him the physical freedom to express his creative energy through his artwork.
