Upon moving to Fort Myers, Florida in late 1988, I opened my
commercial,
fashion, and editorial photography studio that is known today
as
Heslep Studios
.
Even though I still enjoy pursuing my successful commercial studio
servicing a broad
range of clientele, my most heartfelt desire has always been to
capture my visions
on canvas and to be recognized in the same realm of the most elite
of fine artists...
photographic, or otherwise.
The first exhibition of my photographic fine art was in 1991 as
part of a multi-artist
Gallery Exhibit at Sanibel Harbour Resort and Spa in Fort Myers,
Florida.
Due to pursuing my commercial studio so as not to be a 'starving
artist', which is no way to
raise a son by yourself, it took thirteen years before my next
exhibit... November 20th, 2004.
Since then I have been blessed with an extensive exhibit
schedule in which you can find my
art in a gallery somewhere at any given time.
The Doug Heslep Fine Art Collection has been a "works in
progress" for a very long time,
starting well before that first show in 1991... and the journey
isn't over yet.
I live and breathe my creations. They come from within
hopefully conveying on canvas
the energy I was experiencing as it happened in front of me.
I identify completely with each
image I create, experiencing it over and over, examining every
detail, striving for perfection.
I invest myself totally into my creativity, without
hesitation,
by commiting unrestricted time, energy, and passion.
I am my own worst critic.
A little bit more about the most influential part of my
life that has
defined who I am, both in heart and soul, and has mean't the
most...
...well, thats my son Alex, my best friend.

...and yes, my dive buddy too!
