Her colors are bright and substantial and play gracefully across the color wheel. Her careful, intimate details reward close inspection. She is inspired by nature.
Beverlee Corriveau
Beverlee has always had creative interests, including designing and selling original clothing and home accessories with fabric, along with growing and arranging flowers.
Several years ago she moved her focus to fine art, studying with different teachers, starting with pastels and then finding her love of painting with oils.
“I love how color can attract you to a painting, drawing you in to hopefully experience a feeling or mood.”
She is a member of the Wilbraham Art League, Tobacco Valley Artists Association and the Artists at the Crossroads.
She has won awards for her paintings, including 1st place at Western New England University, 2nd place at the Blandford Fair Art Show and many others at shows in Massachusetts and Connecticut.
