DOUG BELDING, ARTIST FOR STORYTELLERS AND ADVENTURERS Story telling is an important part of our culture, and as an artist I have a desire to tell stories. My clients are storytellers too; their original art is a great conversation starter. I love making art that is messy and resonates with people through expression, colour and texture. Some of the happiest moments in life can come out of mess, and that shows up in my art. The people who buy, wear, and commission my art are adventurous, playful, worldly, and aren’t afraid of ‘messy’. They’re the kind of people who love hearing, and telling, great stories.
