Meet the Artist: Doug Fortin

Meet the Artist provides an opportunity to view an artist's work live. During the month of January, artist Doug Fortin's work will be on display. We invite you to watch him work, ask questions about his process, or enjoy the process of making art. 

Doug Fortin is a New England-based artist whose evocative watercolor landscapes celebrate the natural beauty of the world around us. A graduate of the University of Hartford Art School in 2006, Doug spent his early career in San Francisco, immersing himself in the vibrant art scene and honing his craft as a professional artist.

A decade ago, Doug returned to his New England roots, where he discovered a deep connection between his two passions: painting and the great outdoors. Specializing in plein air watercolor landscapes, his work captures the fleeting light, shifting seasons, and timeless charm of the region. By painting directly from nature, Doug brings an immediacy and vitality to his work that reflects his love for the environment and his technical mastery of the watercolor medium.

Doug’s art invites viewers to pause, reflect, and connect with the serene yet powerful beauty of the natural world.
