BOWDOINHAM

The Friends of Merrymeeting Bay has collaborated with the Merrymeeting Arts Center to host a talk by accomplished photographer Heather Perry on Saturday at 11 a.m.

According to an announcement about the lecture, Perry is “happiest in, on and under water” which is reflected in her photographs, many of which are well-known.

“After all, you’ve seen her work published in several places. To name a few: National Geographic, DownEast, Maine Boats Homes & Harbors, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Wooden Boat. Fans of Merrymeeting Bay know her best from Frank Burroughs’ magnificent book Confluence: Merrymeeting Bay,” the release states, with her photographs of the bay and fish under its surface.

Perry’s talk will start at 11 a.m. in the gallery at the Merrymeeting Arts Center, where the center is currently hosting its major show “Three Town Artists: Carlo Pittore, Bryce Muir & Carter Smith” supported by Bowdoinham’s 250th Anniversary Committee and the Carlo Pittore Foundation for the Figurative Arts. Pre-registration is not required. For more information about her work, visit http:// www.heatherperryphoto.com/.

The Friends of Merrymeeting Bay will continue its Summer Outside! series with an outing on Aug. 18 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with Tom Weddle and the “Surficial Geology of Merrymeeting Bay.” To preregister for this trip, or to receive more information about FOMB programs, please call or write Jeff DeRosa, Executive Coordinator, at 371-8099 or jeffderosa@fomb.org.
