| Paul Doucette was born in
Halifax in 1948. He left home at an early age to travel the world as a
merchant seaman. Returning in the 1970s, he was accepted into Saint Mary’s
and Dalhousie Universities where he studied Philosophy and Anthropology.
He spent his entire professional life working and living in many countries
from the Caribbean to Asia and the Orient.
In 1998 he decided to retire from professional life and to pursue a new career as an artist. His chosen medium is photography. He works exclusively with large format camera systems and uses only black and white film. He is very much a traditionalist in terms of composition and production techniques, working solely with wet chemical processes. All his work is done by his hand from film development to framing. All finished prints are on high quality fibre paper and selenium and/or gold toned for enhanced permanence and aesthetic effect. His main areas of interest are landscape and architecture. These best reflect his deep commitment to the environment and its preservation and protection. He also works with still life and portraiture. He attended the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design from 1999 to 2002, both as a Continuing Education and a registered student. Thus far, he has exhibited his work at several local venues and two major exhibits at the Birmingham Gallery and Dalhousie Art Gallery. He has also been published in the Dalhousie Alumni Magazine and in Prefix Photo (Toronto).
