The Art of Douglas Simonson

According to the website, Adonis Art, Douglas Simonson is an artist who was based for much of his life in Hawaii. His work is well-known worldwide and collected internationally.

When he was working in Hawaii, he was "at the heart of the surfing culture of the islands, and [both photographed and painted] the young men there at the peak of their physical condition."

On his website it's noted that, "After 35 years of painting professionally, Simonson is operating at the peak of his powers – so far. The latest work coming out of his ArtVallarta studio [in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico] is clear evidence that he’s still growing, still exploring, and still producing powerful, and powerfully beautiful, art."
