Guy Corriero - Watercolors and Oils

Guy Corriero was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York.

He was educated at the Long Beach High School, the School of Visual Arts, and at C. W. Post College.

Guy went on to acquire an M.A. in Humanities from Hofstra University, and secured his entry into the art world after a two year stint in the U.S. Marine Corps as a illustrator.


From there, he entered his next phase as a commercial artist in New York City.

Guy taught at the State University in Farmingdale, New York and then later, as a Professor of Fine Arts, at Herkimer County Community College, where he was awarded The New York State Chancellor's Award for "Excellence in Teaching."

Painting now, full time, in Portland Maine, he covers subjects from portraits to landscapes, but has a true love of painting the sea.

2010 marked the end of forty straight years of teaching workshops on Monhegan Island, Maine, where he taught and encouraged scores of students.

A tribute to his ease of teaching and his commitment to individual processes, students would return year after year, some attending classes with him over 15 or more years.


He continues to conduct three day sessions in Kennebunkport every spring and fall.

His work may be seen at The Wiscasset Bay Gallery, Wiscasset, Maine, in the Dowling Walsh Gallery, Rockland, Maine, at the Camden Falls Gallery, Camden, Maine, and in his private studio in Portland.

Guy is a signature member of both The American Watercolor Society and the New York State Watercolor Society.

I also encourage you to visit his website, noted here in the "Artist's Contact" panel on the right side of this blog.

There, you can view more of his work and read descriptions of the paintings shared here and more!
