Beer’s paintings on exhibit at CV library through October

CARRABASSETT VALLEY — The paintings of artist Jess Beer will be exhibited until the end of October at the Carabassett Valley Public Library.
A win and cheese reception will be held from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27 at the library. It is free and open to the public.
Beer is a multimedia artist, and earned a bachelor’s degree in fine art in 2015 from the Maine College of Art.
She now lives in Kingfield, where she is working on rebuilding her artistic practice as a studio artist focusing on abstract painting. Beer draws inspiration for her work from the natural environment around her, abstracting the mountains, lakes, woodland habitats and rivers which surround her home into large and small scale paintings.
“River Right,” “River Left” and “Confluence” were created as part of “Ebb + Flow: Reflections on the Kennebec River,” a group show represented by Waterville-based Common Street Arts gallery.
