He has appeared on Echo Bodine's Enough Is Enough, and her podcast Intuitive Living. He has also been a guest on Jen Weigel's podcast, I'm Spiritual, Dammit.Beaupre, William: - "As a practicing architect (now retired) William began painting with watercolor in the 1990's as a medium for expressing architectural concepts and designs. He was influenced early on by the works of John Singer Sargent and Trevor Chamberlain for their ability to capture the essence of architectural subjects with economic and expressive brushstrokes and washes. He soon began painting not just the man made world of architecture, but the natural world as well. In particular, the rocky coastlines of Maine and his native Minnesota's North Shore became, and continue to be, frequent subject matter for him. "The elemental meeting of water, rock, and air along these coastlines is endlessly fascinating to me." he says. William believes his most successful paintings are those that capture the spirit, atmosphere, and sense of place of his subjects. He wants the viewer to see not just a captured moment in time, but to also be a part of a bigger narrative, sensing things like the power and restlessness of waves, the chill and beauty of wind blown snow, or the shifting, diaphanous layers of sky and atmosphere. An avid sketcher, William is also a member of Urban Sketchers - Twin Cities."
