FLOW: Demar Douglas

I have had the opportunity by grace to make the acquaintance of Mr. Demar Douglas. Although a painter of dreams, the reality of his expression blossoms from the tips of his fingers through the stroke of a brush. I interpret his art to be a selfless journey through which his breath yearns to be one with the caress of a canvas. An entertainer in his own right, he takes on the challenge of performing live art on stage with the atmosphere as his muse. Making big moves, Mr. Douglas' name is household weather you are at a BBQ showing off his latest edition of dominoes or teaching your child about politics through his collection of books.
