Joan P. Albaugh studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Tufts University. She now exhibits at Old Spouter Gallery, Nantucket Looms and the Artists Association of Nantucket. Albaugh is known for painting the changes in light across a landscape, with brevity of detail and saturated color. Meditative.
Her paintings hint of influences from the work of Edward Hopper and Rockwell Kent.

“Throughout my career as an artist, certain themes and images have remained constant… their essence continues to weave in and out of my work. Be it an isolated house, an empty pool, a snorkeler, a bush or a buoy… all are echoes of a story, a story perhaps without a plot, a haiku of a memory, a breeze with light.” ~ Joan P. Albaugh
