DOUGLAS STONE (1951 - )
Doug Stone was born in Simcoe, Ontario, in 1951 and graduated from the University of Guelph, Ontario, in 1974 with an Honors Bachelor of Fine Arts. In the late 1970’s, Stone ran a high-tech furniture store in Toronto, and in the 1980‘s was renowned in the city for his innovative furniture design. Towards the end of the 80’s, Stone battled AIDS, and was hospitalized for a period of time. When he recovered from his near-death experience, he turned to painting as a means of documenting battle, in particular the isolation that results from illness. The works that were shown at the Christopher Cutts Gallery in Toronto in 1996 are an autobiographical account of his experience.
Stone continues to exhibit his paintings and photographs in Canada and the United States. He lives and works in both Toronto and New York City.
