Doris Jean Coil
Visionary artist
As a child, Doris Jean Coil wrote poetry, drew pictures, made toys with her brother and watched her mother make flowers, sang at family get-togethers, and taught herself how to play guitar, mandolin, and banjo.
Growing up in a musical family helped Doris get started, but her creative instincts led her toward making art as well as music throughout her life--everything from dolls and toys to quilts and clothes. Through a strong connection with God and her numerous artistic endeavors, Doris has been able to make it through hard times and bring some happiness to others. Putting her own, sometimes difficult, experiences into her work, she is able to create something both artistic and therapeutic.
