Doug Henry is a highly regarded fine artist based out of Hanover, New Hampshire. After a wildly successful 25-year career as a major commercial illustrator (creating covers and ad campaigns for brands like Visa, FedEx, and Playboy), he shifted his focus entirely to fine art in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He pioneered this coveted style of painting rural New England themes directly onto distressed wood panels, blending fine artistic technique with a traditional early American folk aesthetic. His original large-scale works are highly sought after by Americana and regional New England collectors.**SHIPPING & HANDLING:**
The painting will be professionally packed, wrapped securely in heavy-duty bubble wrap, and shipped in a sturdy box with full insurance and tracking. Local pickup options are also available.
