Work by local award-winning student artists on display in Rangeley

RANGELEY — Rangeley Friends of the Arts is celebrating the accomplishments of local student artists with an exhibit that begins Saturday, Sept. 15.

Works by recent Rangeley Lakes Regional School graduates Logan Abbott, Natasha Haley and Isobel Straub will be on display at the Lakeside Contemporary Art Gallery in the RFA Lakeside Theater, 2493 Main St.
The show highlights the unique perspectives of three artists examining the diversity of elements and character discovered in portraiture. An artist’s reception will be held later in the season during school holidays.
Under the tutelage of art and graphics teachers Sonja Johnson and Maryam Emami, the artists developed accomplished award-winning portfolios during their years at RLRS.
Abbott, Haley and Straub not only participated in the Advanced Placement program where their work was reviewed by the College Board and awarded college credit; they were also honored in National Congressional Art and Scholastic Art competitions.
