about us
Born in Walla Walla, Washington, Douglas Watson spent the majority of his youth in Coos Bay, Oregon, where he attended school and spent time surfing the Oregon coast. He went on to attend college and then entered the Air Force where he worked as a physical conditioning specialist.
Doug spent most of his life raising and training Quarter horses. The ability to see and feel all that is going on around him and then put it all into words makes his writing come to life. His love of all wildlife, most of all wolves, gives his animal writings the unique and inspiring style that he is known for. For a short while you can step into their lives and see the world as they see it. A large and growing collection of Love poems comes from the heart, reaching into the souls of all who read them.
John finch was born on the Lapwai Nez Perce Indian Reservation in Idaho. As a direct descendant of Chief Joseph, John has spent a large part of his life preserving his Native American culture through his art. It is his extensive ability to capture and bring to life both the Native American animals and true inner light of the subjects in his portraits that gives his work it’s distinctive look. He has spent his life studying and teaching art. He has worked as a portrait artist at the 5th street Market in Eugene, Oregon. Developed a summer youth program, and taught traditional and contemporary art at the Flagstaff Indian Center, Flagstaff, Arizona. John was the artist-in residence at the 1974 World fair/Native American Village, where his artwork was on display and he worked as a silversmith inside the Native Americans pavilion, Spokane, Washington.
Over the years John’s artwork has been on exhibit and has won numerous awards throughout the western United States. One of the most noted was when one of his paintings was selected to be part of the Smithsonian Institute’s permanent collection of Contemporary Indian Art in Washington DC.
