Doug has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for charities including the NSPCC, Children in Need, and the NHS Charities together urgent appeal with specially created artwork.
Gallery Owner Sharon Callow said: “Doug’s fresh, immediate style sits comfortably within the genre of so called “naïve art”, yet there is something about his work that sets it apart from that of his contemporaries.
“That special spark is difficult to pinpoint but impossible to resist! I hope our friends on the island will all be coming along to meet him and to enjoy this unique occasion.”
