"I find great peace and power in nature… and great energy in curiosity, exploration and discovery - of any kind.  I am fascinated with water and light and believe that composition is king.   My fascination with graphic composition and shifting light have always pushed paintings that I hope open new views of both the expanse and the detail of the coastal landscape.  Often referenced as "interpretive" they easily depart to explore more abstract or distant characters... usually returning once again to rest comfortably at home… inevitably being less about the way a place looks than the way it makes me feel."

- Doug Foltz, 2020 Artist of the Year
