from Montpelier High School in <strong>19</strong>55. After graduation he<br />
worked at both Montpelier High and Harwood Union High<br />
School, retiring after over 40 years.<br />
Returning for a second showing is abstract artist Maryellen<br />
Sullivan with “Abstraction Two”, a collection of photographic<br />
images from a recent trip to Europe. Her display is on the<br />
library’s second floor. These images says Sullivan, were in<br />
unusual places—a skateboard park, the decaying door frame<br />
of a tattoo shop, a billboard—among others, in London,<br />
Amsterdam, and Haarlem.<br />
Maryellen’s love for abstract photography came initially as<br />
inspiration for her paintings. However, the photographs soon<br />
took center stage. Sullivan discovers compositions by zooming<br />
in on a very small part of the larger object. In her compositions,<br />
Sullivan will move around the object to obtain different<br />
angles or to bring a shape or color to life.<br />
Retiring from an active law practice has allowed Sullivan<br />
to pursue her interest in art—both abstract painting and photography.<br />
She lives<br />
in Stowe with her<br />
husband and their<br />
two dogs.<br />
Both Corliss<br />
Griffith’s oil paintings<br />
and Maryellen<br />
Sullivan’s photography<br />
are for sale, and<br />
both works will be<br />
on display until<br />
