CARRABASSETT VALLEY – The Carrabassett Valley Public Library & Community Center is featuring the photography of resident Jamie Corriveau from Dec. 5 to Jan. 14.
A public reception for Corriveau will be held 4:30 to 6 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 3, 2014, in the Begin Family Community Room at the library.
Corriveau began coming to “The Valley” in 1953. With the benefit of growing up skiing Sugarloaf, he went on to become an accomplished ski racer and outdoor enthusiast. Over his career, Corriveau taught school, flew commercially, managed the K2 Pro Racing Team and worked in sales with Yamaha. These positions allowed him to travel extensively, where he became a self-taught amateur photographer. To further his skills, he’s had the privilege of being mentored by two professional photographers: Willis Wood of Denver, Colo., and our very own, John Orcutt.
The Schoolhouse Gallery is pleased to feature Corriveau’s “Bigelow Foliage,” a photographic gallery-wrapped canvas print (30″h x 40″w). The print is on exhibit and for sale at the gallery this autumn and winter.
“Bigelow Foliage” was taken just shy of the summit of Burnt Mountain in Carrabassett Valley, Maine, where Corriveau is a full-time resident.
The public is invited to attend a complimentary wine, cheese and crackers at the artist reception on Friday, Jan. 3. It will be a wonderful opportunity to meet the artist, talk art, connect with friends and celebrate the new year!
