My name is Douglas Keeley. I was born in Dublin in 1978.
I studied Art in secondary school for three years.
Fate brought me on a different path, leaving Art
behind to pursue another career. But I would always
find myself looking at and being inspired by Art and
my passion for it never left me. It just took some
inspiration and a little patience to get me fully
hooked on Art once again after nearly ten years
apart.
My inspiration came from my partner Jeannette, who I
painted a picture of Betty Boop for in August 2004,
just after we met. I fell in love with Art and painting
once again. It came as a surprise to me, and the
response from family and friends was overwhelming. So,
I dabbled in painting once more and the responses
were still great. I got even more hooked, and paintings
were just flying onto canvasses. With more confidence
came more elaborate paintings (but I'll let you be the
judge of that yourself).
