Joseph Douglas Purcell is a painter and muralist. He was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia and has lived in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia since 1953. His primary medium is watercolor; however, he has worked in oil, mixed mediums and fresco. The Atlantic coastal region is the source of most of his subjects such as: sailboats, harbors, fishing, seascapes, landscapes, farmhouses, country lanes, street scenes, rivers, and genre*, etc. He's also completed a large body of work documenting the Nova Scotia gold mining industry. His styles are Post-Impressionism*, Expressionism* and Fauvism*.

His works have been included in the spring exhibitions of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (1945, 1948, 1949, 1950 and 1951) and with the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts* (1949). They've also been in exhibitions at the Dartmouth Heritage Museum, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia (1970) and at the Nova Scotia Fisheries Exhibition, Lunenburg (1975). He's had exhibitions at well-known commercial venues like Granville Galleries, Halifax; Zwicker's Gallery, Halifax; and Robertson Galleries, Ottawa. He currently exhibits at the Purcell Family Art Gallery, Lunenburg with his wife Tela (Monoghan) Purcell, who's also a distinguished artist, a graduate of the Nova Scotia College of Art and a former exhibitor with the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts*.
