Artist Comments
Artist Doug Cosbie paints the East Quoddy Lighthouse, known as the Head Harbour Lightstation, to the locals. The building towers at the northernmost tip of Campobello Island. "Near the border of Maine, it was the summer home of President Franklin D. Roosevelt," shares Doug. He displays the oldest lighthouse in New Brunswick against the beautiful cliffside view with a finely blended color palette.

About the Artist
Artist Doug Cosbie presents the vibrancy found in nature with his impressionist, rural architecture centered artwork. Longing to create something that connects with people, Cosbie spent countless years perfecting how he portrays the world on canvas. Within his journey, he studied as an apprentice in the studios of Sam Black and Jack Shadbolt. As a plein air artist, Doug's studio is a portable pochade box. He begins by finding a location that speaks to him, makes a sketch, and continues to add depth and dimension with oil on canvas. "Creativity when making art is not about interpreting exactly as you see it. New ideas are formed by interesting contrasts, and interesting paintings happen when things are out of place." In the rare cases when he is not painting, you can find him reading, traveling, sailing, and spending quality time with his family. Cosbie's creations have been showcased at galleries in Canada. He is an alumnus of Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver, British Columbia.
