Joan Beauregard
was born in De Pere, Wisconsin USA, in 1920. Her first interest
in the arts was in the theatre. However after her first marriage
and the birth of two sons, her interest changed and she studied
painting and drawing.
She lived in the New York area and had the good fortune to have a
studio near the Museum of Modern Art. Being able to go there
frequently contributed greatly to her art education. She also studied
at the Art Students Leaque in New York.
Later, and after a second marriage, she began living part of the time
in Maine.
Her work reflects both the energy of the city and the conscious peace
of the coastal areas of Maine. She now lives in Maine for the summer
and winter seasons and in Germany for spring and autumn.
She has traveled in Italy and her oil painting reflect the influence
of early italian painters. While in Germany she began to work in acrylic,
but all of her large work is in oil.
BEAUREGARD is her family name which she has always kept because it is
a good designation for her work.
