Fremantle based artist Phillip Peter Doughty is a Wongi man who was born in Kalgoorlie in 1956. His early influences came from his mother who was also a painter. Doughty has painted all his life, excelling in art at school. During the 1990s Doughty put down the paintbrush and did not return to painting until 2000. His works are mainly landscape images of the rural regions of his youth.
In 2009 he and his son Jonathon Doughty enrolled in a Certificate III course in Visual Art and Contemporary Crafts at the Kidogo Art Institute in Fremantle. This course is aimed at teaching the technical skill necessary to further the careers of its students. He participated in the exhibition 'Moorditj Mob’ at Kidogo Arthouse in 2009 along with fellow students plus invited guest artists.
