Artist Profile

In 2002, Doug Hyde was a young artist painting pictures for his family and friends in his spare time but by 2005, he was named as the UK’s best selling published artist, and in 2023 Doug is celebrating 20 years as a professional artist.

Doug’s extraordinary rise from virtual unknown to the most popular living artist in the UK has been meteoric. Yet, despite his phenomenal success, he has never lost touch with the realities of life and has continued to produce work based around his love for his family, his unfailing optimism and his sheer enthusiasm for life.

Inspired by his own emotional responses to life, Doug’s intention is to provoke a positive response in others; his success in this aim can be seen not only by the huge impact his work has made on the British and international art scene, but also by the money he has raised for two important charities - “Look Good…Feel Better” and “Families for Children” - through the sale of his artwork.

Doug Hyde’s Love and Laughter is a vibrant celebration of happiness, affection and positivity. His iconic smiling character takes centre stage against an energetic backdrop of colourful, overlapping hearts, creating a joyful composition bursting with personality. Presented as a mixed media edition with Perspex mounted above canvas, the layered design adds contemporary depth and impact. Released as a limited edition of only 150, Love and Laughter is an uplifting reminder to cherish life’s happiest moments.
