Joan DeRugeris


Joan DeRugeris is the principal artist whose work is on display at China Trader Antiques in Marion, Massachusetts and can be found in our store many weekdays, each Sunday or by appointment. Joan's paintings bring a wonderful complement to China Trader Antique's collection of antiques.

" I bring an element of contrast and compatibility. Contemporary art is very popular in our culture today and illustrated beautifully in many of the high end architectural and design publications. A strong piece of contemporary art in a room of period pieces is a beautiful complement and visa versa."

ARTIST PROFILE

Joan DeRugeris started her commercial art career in New York City’s garment industry. Working for leading textile converters, she designed prints for ready to wear and home furnishings. After receiving her degree from the State University of New York, Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), Joan’s paintings were widely exhibited throughout the mid Atlantic states where she also taught classes in art in nature. Joan now brings her diverse artistic talents to the New England area. While she still utilizes pattern and design elements, her current pieces reflect an artist in the midst of a personal and artistic reawakening.

Joan's journey manifests itself on canvas through the use of mixed medium, acrylics and oils where subject matter is revealed via color and texture, exploring universal themes and human drama. Within her portfolio, landscapes, global architecture human spirituality, and generations of rebirth evolve from an amalgamation of color and pattern. Each work provides an avenue where she visually represents the many aspects of an artistic and personal epiphany.

Joan’s artistic development continues through studies in Advanced Painting at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts. Joan's pieces have been widely exhibited in New England galleries. Her work has been selected for numerous juried shows. She is also a member of the Providence Art club. A native of
Long Island, New York, Joan has been a resident of Marion, MA since 1986, where her studio is also located.
