A sculptor working in clay and translating them to bronze, Doug has studied whales and dolphins, manatees and octopus in the Hawaiian waters with The Center For Whale Studies. He beautifully renders his sea life subjects with the grace of movement that he observed and responds to with his sculptures.  Based on careful and thoughtful  interpretation of marine life and form, he creates original sculpture pieces in clay.
