A Local Treasure: Artist Doug Fluckiger
At City2Forest, we love spotlighting local creatives whose work resonates with the landscapes we hold dear—and Doug Fluckiger’s artwork does just that.
Doug, a self-taught artist based in North Idaho, is known for his incredible attention to detail and his deep reverence for the natural world. His artwork has a way of capturing more than just what’s visible—it speaks to the essence of his subjects.
One piece that particularly resonates with us is his drawing, “Cobbled Together.” In fact, it’s hanging on the wall of our City2Forest home office. This artwork, which features five alluvial stones arranged thoughtfully, speaks to patience and the passage of time. Each stone has been shaped by nature, weathered and worn over time, yet they remain together, a perfect metaphor for resilience.
The way Doug brings each element to life, from the delicate shading to the texture, makes his art feel alive. It’s the kind of drawing that pulls you in, encouraging you to linger and find deeper meaning.
We’ve had the privilege of working with Doug to create a video series that delves into his process and the stories behind his artwork. His passion for his craft is evident, and the videos reflect his connection to both the physical and emotional landscapes he captures. You can watch the full video series on his YouTube channel or visit his Facebook page to see his latest work and updates.
Doug Fluckiger’s Grand Teton artwork is an extraordinary example of his ability to capture the natural beauty of iconic landscapes. His drawings, including pieces of the Teton range, offer a remarkable balance of sharp detail and the majesty of wide open spaces. Fluckiger’s skill in portraying the grandeur of these mountains invites viewers to not only appreciate their visual power but also the deeper emotional resonance of such vast, untamed terrain. You can explore his Grand Teton works and more on his official website.
Doug’s art doesn’t just belong in a gallery—it belongs in the places that matter most, whether it’s in our offices or in your home. If you’re looking for a piece that’s not only visually stunning but also holds deep meaning, we highly recommend checking out “Cobbled Together” and other pieces from his collection on his website.
We are proud to feature Doug’s work and to see how it connects with others who appreciate the quiet moments in life. His art serves as a reminder to slow down, take a breath, and find the beauty in the stillness.
