I graduated college with a degree in Theater, but I limited my creative outlets volunteering to build sets and accepting occasional flits on stage in community theater.  The roles of husband, father, bread-winner left little brain-and-soul-space for creativity.  Life has been incredibly fulfilling thus far, and has only supercharged my need to create, to express how I see and feel the world, and to explore my faith, my love, my fears.  It is my sincere wish that you enjoy this journey with me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eARTIST’S STATEMENT\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy art explores how meaning emerges at the intersection of structure, perception, and belief. Moving between abstraction, landscape, and figuration, in an attempt to translate a lifetime of living, memory, and spiritual inquiry into visual form.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eUnderlying much of my practice is an engagement with systems of order—both natural and constructed. In works such as God Math, the mathematical framework of the Golden Ratio provides a compositional foundation, not as rigid constraint but as generative guide. The structure coexist with fluid, unpredictable materials, creating a dynamic tension between control and emergence.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eIn my landscape-based work, observed environments are distilled into essential bands of color and line, shifting from representation toward abstraction. In my figurative pieces, simplified, symbolic forms evoke archetype rather than portrait, drawing on Jewish narrative and tradition to explore themes of continuity, rupture, exile, and redemption.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eMaterial choice remains central. Reclaimed wood, poured acrylic, and palette knife techniques introduce history, resistance, and chance—allowing the medium itself to participate in the act of meaning-making.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eAcross my work, my hope is that you observe a consistent act of translation: from the external world to internal experience, from structure to sensation, from the visible to the understood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"god-math-golden-ratio","title":"God Math \/ Golden Ratio","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcrylic on canvas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e48x36x1\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Doug Stoveland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42277155274855,"sku":null,"price":740.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/3038\/4487\/files\/1_1774384869_27602.jpg?v=1774442519"},{"product_id":"meditation-on-hanukkah-2025","title":"Meditation on Hanukkah 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcrylic on canvas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e60x24x1\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach panel is 12\" x 24'.
