Don Doe is a painter, draftsman, printmaker, and sculptor based in the United States whose works have been exhibited nationally. He has always considered himself to be a figurative portraitist whose currency lies in the multiple and fragile personalities from literature, magazines, and art historical sources. Through his diverse compositions, Doe explores composite characters and egos that remain ambiguous and fluid.
