Doyle Fanning

Doyle Fanning portrait
I worked for 42 years in state and local government in 35 different jobs. During my years in Olympia I served temporarily as both the State Fire Marshal and Pierce County Fire Marshal, and as the State Fish Chief, Deputy Director of the Department of Wildlife, Chief Financial Officer for Wildlife, Natural Recourses, and Ecology, and Project Director for the Renovation of the State Capitol following the Nisqually Earthquake. When I retired, I took my maiden name (Doyle) and my mother's maiden name (Fanning) and began working as a professional artist.

I've been active in Olympia as a founding member of the Olympia Film Society, the City Arts Commission, the Friends of Artesians, the Olympia Arts + Heritage Alliance, and served on the boards of the City Heritage Commission, Olympia Artspace Alliance, and The Community Foundation.

My first memory of making art is as a six year old in a polio rehabilitation hospital in Los Angeles. I made a finger painting. I still remember the joy of moving the paint around with my hands. Even as I worked professionally, I've always found time to do some kind of art work. In the last twelve years, I've focused on print making using digital tools to alter photographs to create works inspired by traditional painting and print making media. I also paint and draw, and cut and fold paper because I still love the tactile feel of making.
