Joan Templer, the painter, educator and a world-traveling resident of Beaufort presents a selection of her work at Joan’s Picks: A Retrospective Show beginning February 19th with an opening reception at 5:30 p.m. at The Charles Street Gallery located at 914 Charles Street in downtown.

Joan’s Eye is her book; broad is her perspective; full-bodied is her texture; innovative are her techniques; and open-minded is her approach. Her paintings sing with conscientiousness. Which piece will be your pick to absorb and discuss?

The Charles Street Gallery is an established source for Lowcountry and international art, presented within a carefully renovated house surrounded by a lush garden in the middle of Beaufort’s historic district. For more information, go to their website at thecharlesstreetgallery.com.
