Doug Robinson

Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Doug artistic journey began at the age of ten, nurtured by a family deeply rooted in artistic tradition. This rich environment instilled in him a profound appreciation for the transformative power of art.

Emerging from childhood with a clear vision, Doug pursued formal education at the Ontario College of Art & Design University, where he graduated with Honours and earned a working scholarship at advertising agency McCann-Erickson.

This eventually led Doug to open his own award-winning agency Doug & Partners.Doug also served as the President of the Advertising & Design Club of Canada in 1996 and 2002.

Although Douglas excelled at creatively directing major advertising campaigns, he never lost sight of his true passion: painting. Eventually, in 2023, the call of the canvas became irresistible, prompting his return to the full-time pursuit of this lifelong love. This “coming home” has proven to be deeply fulfilling.

Douglas is an active member of the Society of Canadian Artists, The Federation of Canadian Artists, The Toronto Artist Network, the Muskoka Arts & Crafts Club, Art King Society and the McMichael Canadian Art Collection.

His work is held in private collections in Canada and the USA. Most recently, his work was juried into the prestigious Society of Canadian Artists 2025 International.
