Studio -           Eastville, Virginia        

About the Artist – Fine Metal Artist Albert Kellam Doughty Jr. of Hog Island Creations (born 1970, Nassawadox, VA) has been fabricating and welding since 1992 but recently turned to his passion for creating one-of-a-kind original metal sculpture.

Coming from a long line of Eastern Shore of Virginia seafarers, lighthouse keepers, hunting guides and renowned decoy makers, his many hours of roaming the sea shores, fields and forests of the Eastern Shore of Virginia have developed in Albert an acute sense and feel for nature’s wonders which he delights in recreating in his art.

His art is a combination of welding techniques issued from his experience with manipulating metal and a true dedication to life and all that touches his heart and soul. His knowledge of the farming way of life has also further encouraged his original use of farming implements as a basis for creative pieces.

Albert was born and raised on the Eastern Shore and has lived all of his life in Northampton County. He now continues to reside in Eastville with his wife, Helene and two children, Morgan and Chloe.

Artist Statement - All of his artwork is original, handmade, one-of-a-kind metal sculpture stemming from the use of various cutting, grinding and welding techniques (no casting process).
