Doug Guildford

Doug Guildford is a largely self-taught Canadian visual artist. He was born in Nova Scotia, in 1948, and lived there until graduating from Dalhousie University with a BA in Political Science in 1969. He lived in Vancouver throughout the 1970’s. Since then his home base has been in downtown Toronto. For most of that time, however, he has migrated annually, back to coastal Nova Scotia for summers of from 3 to 6 months. He continues now to divide his time between his studios in downtown Toronto and on a coastal stretch of rural Nova Scotia, where he shares an old farmhouse with his partner, the playwright and novelist, Don Hannah.Find out more
