Collection: Bob Doucette

An accomplished artist, animator, and director whose vibrant career spans television, puppetry, doll-making, and fine art. He has directed several beloved children’s programs, including the PBS Sprout hits Chloe’s Closet and Dive Olly Dive, and has worked on award-winning classics such as Clifford’s Puppy Days, Steven Spielberg Presents: Tiny Toon Adventures, and Animaniacs. His independent animated films have earned numerous accolades, with his MFA thesis film Pink Triangle housed in the permanent collection of the New York Public Library.

Bob’s creative journey began in puppetry and evolved into doll-making—a passion that earned national recognition. His Ben Franklin doll, created for the White House Christmas Tree in 1999, is now part of the Smithsonian’s permanent collection. Many of his dolls are also in the private collection of Demi Moore and have appeared in television features, magazines, and gallery exhibitions.
