Background
Doug Young was born in Indiana and moved to South Carolina where he studied art in college. After graduation, he moved to North Carolina for work, and took a sculpting class. After twelve years, a job called him back to SC where his art career began to blossom. Doug has been a member of the Metropolitan Arts Council and served on art-related organizations including Taylors Art Group, the West Greenville Arts Festival, Pendleton Street Arts District Business Association, and Indie Craft Parade. He has served on the Taylors Town Square board of directors and was president of The Gallery Centre Association. He can now be found back in NC, where he first learned sculpting.
Artist Statement
“Sculpting comes naturally to me. It’s not always easy or pressure-free, but I love the way the final sculpture plays with light and shadow. What the viewer sees may vary, depending on direction or time of day. I like that. I prefer the additive process over any other. The spontaneity of the moment, and the opportunity to make changes as the piece takes shape, allows a certain freedom. Since most of my work is figurative and representational, I try to communicate an emotion through the figure’s facial expression and body language. Good art should speak to the heart.”
