Doug and Debbie have been artists on the island for over 40 years, having honeymooned at Debbie’s father’s cottage in Sconset in 1972. The island captured their hearts and they moved to Nantucket in 1978. Over those years they owned several galleries and represented many highly respected regional and national artists, in addition to showing their own work. Many of their paintings are collaborations. Doug will lay out the composition with a broad vision for the painting. Debbie will then add the details, fine-tuning their creation. The result is a perfect balance of impressionism and realism that truly captures both of them as artists.

Their work is displayed at The Jewelers’ Gallery on 21 Centre Street as well as at Anderson’s of Nantucket on 29 Main Street. Both locations also carry Debbie’s hand-painted ornaments.
