Biography

Doug and his wife Georgie

Doug McAbee is an artist from Spartanburg, South Carolina.

He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Master of Fine Arts degree from Winthrop University where he is an adjunct faculty member.

Doug has built numerous public sculpture installations and private outdoor works.  His sculpture Sweet Dreams is an installation of five steel chairs

ranging in height from 8 feet to 20 feet.  This work was purchased by Winthrop University in May, 2000 and is permanently displayed

on the front campus lawn.

Doug and his work have been been featured in The Rock Hill Herald, The Charlotte  Observer, The Florence Morning News, WYFF Channel 4-Greenville,

The State News- Columbia, Channel 2 News TV-Rock Hill, and Spartanburg Magazine.

Doug has recently completed a new drawing exhibition called "One Percent Evil".  It is his second series of drawings in the last year.  Like his sculptures,

the drawings are filled with bold colors and whimsical imagery, but if you look closely you may find something more sinister lurking beneath the surface.

This new work is available for purchase and for shows.
