Doug Desmond
Doug Desmond was born in Austin, Texas in 1935 and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. He considers himself self-taught, although he did attend The California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland on a scholarship, the University of Texas, and later California State College at Hayward. He has participated in many group, juried, and one-man shows, and is included in many collections throughout the United States and Europe.
For the last fifteen years Doug has worked mainly in graphic illustration. His media include pen and ink, oil, watercolor, etching and sculpture.
In 1989 Doug moved from the Bay Area to the Mendocino Coast and now lives with his wife Marilyn in the little hamlet of Caspar, which is about four miles north of the village of Mendocino, about 120 miles north of San Francisco.
