The Original Art of
Douglas Zeigler
I have been drawing and painting, since I was five years old, and starting then, I was convinced that I was destined to make art. At the School of the Art Institute of Chicago I received the instruction, inspiration and motivation to pursue a life of creativity. A minor in art history enhanced my appreciation for the work of artists through history and kindled a life-long goal of visiting the great museums of the world, which in turn has refined and shaped my own artistic practice.
I believe every artist has an individual voice, through which they seek to express unique responses to sensory stimuli, inner emotions and the world at large. My work attempts to re-form and restate my intense attachment to experiences and imagery I encounter in life and travels.




“Nature is the starting point, but my sub-conscious guides
an interpretation of what I ‘know’ or ‘see’ before me.
If others share for a moment what I experience through this journey then my work is successful.”
