Adventurer / Author / Artist
As a diversion from his private practice in counseling therapy Myers became joint owner of a rustic fish camp site on the remote Alagnak River in southwest Alaska called Katmai Lodge. It was an adventure opportunity of the heart that embraced wild Alaska's virgin landscape and Native friends at their historic village sites.
As an adventurer, sport fisherman, and photographer he has been privileged to realize the pleasure in personal fulfillment stemming from inspiration. Myers’ goal as author and artist has been to illustrate in written narrative and on canvas Alaska’s scenic treasure, historic Native culture, and wildlife display.
Newspaper columnist Linda Bryant wrote of an artist who discovered peaceful renewal in Alaska’s wilderness. The article titled 'The ART of PEACE' was written about the author/artist, Doug Myers. 'For Myers, renewal comes in the wilderness of Alaska with a fly-fishing rod in hand and a camera in his backpack . . . In his work, he helped others find healing peace; in his avocation, he has found it for himself . . . hundreds of memories feed his spirit and connect him to the wild and scenic land that is his home.'
Excerpts from the 'Foreword' in
PURSUING THE UNTAMED
Colonel Norman D. Vaughan,
Antarctic Explorer with Admiral Byrd,
Alaskan Iditarod Icon
Throughout my life I have known an enthusiasm for risk and a satisfaction from each adventure accomplishment. In PURSUING THE UNTAMED many of the experiences the author Doug Myers writes about reminds me of my own adventures. . . . Accounts of the salmon's spawning ritual and encounters with brown bear are interestingly informative. . . . the book offers a good understanding of instincts specific to Alaska's wildlife. . . . Doug effectively humanizes the wild creatures and events in order to illustrate the essentials in living a fulilled life. I recommend the reading of PURSUING THE UNTAMED to all who appreciate a sensitive, thoughtful understanding of Alaska's wilderness, its Native people and culture, and wildlife.
