Dianne Beauregard

Dianne Beauregard is a painter of contemporary expressionism who finds inspiration in her strong bond with the natural world. Her childhood instilled a passion for painting that she nurtured with a successful career in graphic design, excelling in both fields at Dawson College. She was born in Montreal to a family steeped in artistic tradition.

She moved from Montreal to Toronto, where she successfully combined her design background with her artistic pursuits. She then moved to a more remote area of Prince Edward County, Ontario, in 2016, deciding to devote herself full-time to her art and environmental campaigning. Her opinions on ecological issues have influenced her abstract-expressionist paintings, which have bold storylines that showcase her design sense and respect for the natural world. Numerous honours have distinguished Beauregard's artistic career.

Her contributions go beyond the canvas; she enthusiastically shares her knowledge as an art instructor by leading workshops. She co-created and painted important murals for Base31 creative-cultural gardens. Beauregard is committed to promoting creativity and environmental consciousness and is still an active member of the arts community.

“ 'Mana,' the raw energy found in nature that permeates my psyche and my artistic creations, is central to my artistic practice. Nature gives me a strong sense of connection and inspiration, acting as both a muse and a haven. I intentionally combine spontaneity and intention in my creative process. I give every painting my whole attention, both mentally and physically, and I frequently paint while listening to music that mirrors the range of my feelings. In addition to conventional brushes, I sometimes use spray paint, sponges, sticks, and other natural instruments to experiment with textures and layers in my work.

My work is distinguished by its vibrant and dynamic nature, which reflects my continuous investigation of expressionism, abstraction, and semi-realism. My goal is to produce compositions that are daring and sophisticated, enticing spectators to linger and consider the relationship between shape and feeling.”
