Regine Legler

“My feelings are the subject of my art. My intention is for my paintings to express how I feel about the world and people, and my relationship to them.”

Los Angeles-based artist Regine Legler was born in Berlin, Germany. Her vibrant, colorful paintings are visualizations of deeply felt emotional states, dream imagery, and the enchanting world she has found in her new home, the American West.

In childhood, Regine’s first drawings were made on a communal canvas; her mother encouraged family members to draw at home on a kitchen door. Every surface was a place to draw, including her schoolbooks, which led Regine to her first artistic commission; a classmate asked her to help him fulfill a homework assignment by drawing a portrait of Napoleon.

Regine's formal education began when she enrolled at the prestigious Staedelschule in Frankfurt/Main, Germany, where she studied figure drawing, portraiture, landscape and still life under Walter Hergenhahn, a student of the renowned Max Beckmann. She completed her formal artistic training at the Freie Academy in Mannheim, Germany, receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts after devoting three years to intensive study in color theory, oil painting, acrylic and watercolor.
