Doug Crook has drawn and painted since early childhood. Extensive travel has given him an appreciation for a broad range of artwork. Since his retirement from banking in 2012, he has been able to devote his energy to his lifelong passion for art. A longtime resident of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Crook is constantly inspired by the beauty of the western Canadian landscape which affords an endless source of subject matter. His wife is a native of Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada where the couple spends their summers. There he concentrates on capturing the beauty of the East Coast, its picturesque towns and villages, local industry and the entire coastal experience. Working in acrylics, Crook is known for his colourful landscapes and maritime paintings.
