Welcome to The Doran Collective
Presenting three artists from the same family
Derek Doran is a Scottish artist based in North Wales, where he resides with his Irish wife, drawing inspiration from the shared Celtic heritage of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. Working in paint, pastel, and print, his art captures the wild landscapes’ dramatic skies, bleak moors, and untamed coasts, evoking a profound sense of place and resilience.
Trained initially as a graphic designer, Derek later pursued a career in teaching art and design, fostering creativity in students while refining his own practice. This background informs his textured, atmospheric works that translate the raw emotion of these terrains into visual narratives.
