Doug Hall grew up in Southwest Missouri and cannot remember when he did not paint. He now lives on 50 acres surrounded by the Huckleberry State Forest. He has spent a great deal of time studying the history and culture of the native peoples of the Eastern Woodlands and has won many awards for his paintings of their everyday lives. The effect of his dedication to the subject is evident in his paintings.

Doug has been represented by Lord Nelson's Gallery since the 2006 History Meets the Arts show in Gettysburg.
