Meet the Artist
Douglas C. Hess grew up in Huntsville, Alabama in a family of nine children. Hess' interest in sketching and drawing was realized at an early age. However, it was not until 1983 that the artist's interest was revitalized while painting exclusively in oils. While employed as an industrial engineer, Hess worked every available minute at the easel but realized his passion for painting could not be met on a part time basis.
In 1993, Hess resigned from his job to pursue his dream, a career in fine art. Artist Douglas C. Hess' paintings preserve a special moment in time that allows each individual to relive and savor those snapshots in time for years to come. The realism captured in his paintings, featuring exquisite detail, has created a strong demand for his work from collectors. Original oil portraits by Douglas C. Hess are also in great demand.
The opportunity to share his artistic talents came with the release of his first print "Final Victory" in 1984, which reached sold out status quickly and has recently sold for up to $1,500 on the secondary market. Mr. Hess' most recent project was a commission by the NFL's Tennessee Titans to Commemorate the "Music City Miracle," which sold out within several months and continues to increase in value. Since the release of Douglas C. Hess' first print, his work can be found in university, corporate, museum and private collections; both here and abroad. Today he makes his home and studio in Madison, Alabama with his wife, daughter and three sons.
