    “Survivor” by Doug Graybeal

    Graduating with a degree in Architecture during a slow economy Doug moved to Colorado to ski and never left. He was a principal in an award winning and nationally recognized architectural firm for 25 years before starting his own distinguished practice focused on sustainable design. After practicing the “hard line art” of architecture for forty years Doug decided to more deeply explore the softer “more free flowing” art of watercolors with the vibrancy of pastels. He has drawn throughout his career and taken workshops from Colorado and nationally recognized artists. Doug continues to expand his artistic skills combining pastels with watercolors and participating in Plein Air events throughout Colorado. He is a signature member of the Pastel Society of Colorado.
