For more than 25 years, Caroline Doucette has cultivated her
excellent reputation as an internationally renowned watercolorist
and visual artist. She creates remarkable, one-of-a-kind watercolor
paintings that cannot be replicated by any other artist. Ms.
Doucette has shown her paintings in numerous venues and exhibits in
North Dakota, Massachusetts, Texas and New York. She exhibits and
sells only originals of her work — she does not do prints of any
type. However, her work can also be seen in many publications,
including the summer 1996 and spring 2000 issues of Watercolor
magazine. Her painting, “To Life,” is featured in the book “Splash
5: The Glory of Color.” Ms. Doucette’s unique style and technique
has been honed over years of study and practice. Ms. Doucette has
worked with some of the industry’s most creative minds, and has
learned from every artist with whom she has connected. She also
remains current in her field through affiliations with multiple art
associations, as well as signature memberships with the New England
Watercolor Society, Red River Watercolor Society, and Pennsylvania
Watercolor Society. She aims to become a signature member of both
the American Watercolor Society and the National Watercolor Society
in the near future. Memberships of this level require having three
works accepted at annual exhibits. Over the years, Ms. Doucette has
received a large number of awards and recognition for her work.
Most recently, she was distinguished as an Elite American Artist.

What Others Are Saying Caroline has lived in Rugby, N.D., for 14
years, and has had many exhibits throughout the state. During this
time, she has never had to request an exhibition spot. “North
Dakota has been good to me, and they love to show my work,”
Caroline notes. Out of the many accolades that she has garnered
over the years, some that stand out most in her mind are the ones
that she received in person. Caroline recalls one instance in which
she traveled to Rugby from New Hampshire to look at properties
prior to moving there. “The local gift and gallery store was having
a celebration for their anniversary, so I went to the reception to
check out the local artists,” Caroline shares. She showed her
portfolio to some of the artists in attendance, and one woman, Tam
G., readily recognized Caroline’s work from a recent article in
Watercolor magazine. Not long after relocating to Rugby, Caroline
overheard a woman named Nancy R. telling her sister about a very
talented artist who had just moved into town. Caroline remembers,
“When she told her my name, she said, ‘You know her. She’s famous,
you know. I’ve seen her paintings in New York City, and you
actually know her.’ ” Another time, Caroline encountered a friend
named Sandy J. who had become very distraught while gallery-hopping
along the East Coast because she thought someone was copying
Caroline’s style. “She was very upset until she realized she was
looking at my artwork,” Caroline states.
The paintings below are a few of Caroline’s favorites because of
the flower, the composition and the color. All of these paintings
are still available for purchase. Please contact Caroline to learn
more.

Flag Paintings
In addition to garnering acclaim for painting flowers, Ms.
Doucette has attracted favorable attention for her ability to paint
flags. She feels that her flag paintings are not radically
different from her flower paintings, in terms of technique. Over
the years, she has honed her ability to replicate the texture of
the rolling fabric as it cascades naturally. While the painting of
American flags became particularly popular after 9/11, Ms. Doucette
had been painting them long before that time, as they were a part
of her family's heritage. She shares, "My maternal grandfather
joined the U.S. Army in WWI for his citizenship. His sons, my
uncles, served in WWII. My mother was in the Army during the Korean
War when she met my father, who was in the Air Force. The Army, Air
Force, Navy and Marines each got one of my four brothers. I,
myself, served in the Army at the end of Vietnam Conflict."
