Biography
About the Artist
Douglas Taylor is a multi-talented visionary artist, author, speaker, surfer and home builder.
During much of his youth, he was a surfer traveling around the world searching for that illusive perfect wave. He never quite found that perfect wave but his travels stimulated his adventurous spirit. He developed a profound appreciation of nature and its healing and rejuvenating effects in his life.
In 1978, on one of his surfing trips to the Caribbean Island of Puerto Rico, Douglas experienced a life-changing psychic encounter, finding himself inside a starship and telepathically communicating with its extraterrestrial occupants. They were human in appearance and seemed to radiate a beautiful light and sense of peace. He felt a new surge of excitement and expansion of mind, far more than he ever thought he was capable of experiencing.
On his return from this trip, Douglas began having many strange and wonderful psychic experiences that profoundly changed his life. It seemed that a door was now opened to the next step in his spiritual progression. He then began his first attempts at both writing and painting without having any previous creative or artistic background. However, his creative channel opened up and out flowed a profusion of paintings and writings. Douglas sold fourteen paintings at his very first art showing! Aided by a series of hundreds of beautiful communications in visions and dreams with extraterrestrial and celestial beings over the years, he continues to show his inspiration in his writing, painting, and teaching. Taylor’s Visionary and UFO paintings are considered to be some of the best in the world, many of which are published in his enlightening book ‘Soulic Journeys’. In addition to national radio talk shows and interviews with film and television crews from around the world, he has taught hundreds of classes and workshops.

2019 Conciousness Life Expo
Douglas is sought after to speak and exhibit his art at many conscious events, conferences and art galleries. His presentations and multi-media creations inspire others to overcome their self-imposed limitations and move forward in their individual fields of healing, creativity and spiritual progress.
Douglas, in his artwork and classes, attempts to carry this message of inspiration "Excellence in any field is a product of a synthesis of the mind, body and spirit. The messenger is unimportant and transitory, but the message is eternal."
Douglas and his wife Serena live in Huntington Beach, a seaside community between Los Angeles and San Diego, where he continues to paint, write, wood-work and surf.
