==Life==
Al Carbee was born in Portland, Maine on February 10, 1914. After studying at the Portland School of Fine and Applied Art for two years, he moved to Boston in 1937 where he attended his uncle Scott Carbee's School of Art. Soon after finishing his studies, he got a job at Sullivan's Photo Service where he worked on municipal photography as a dark-room attendant and photo-finisher. During World War II, Carbee was hired by the Army as a radiographer due to his previous experience and expertise in photography and film development. After the war, Carbee moved to Portland, Maine where he built layouts and billboards for the Central Maine Power Company. It was around this time that he met and married his wife, Edna. A few years later they moved to Saco, Maine where he juggled various odd jobs. He opened up his own hobby shop, sold guppies through mail order and built an entire outdoor go-kart racetrack which he ran throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. Throughout this time and after those jobs, Al Carbee continued to make art at a fast pace unbeknownst to his community. His wife found his fascination with Barbies embarrassing and tried to tell him he should keep it hidden.〔(http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-magical-universe-movie-review-20141107-story.html )〕 His collection of Barbies were relegated to a back room in his house until his wife died.〔(Bangor Daily News Dec 6, 2002. )〕 In 1997, his wife Edna died. It was about a month after this loss, that Carbee's art was discovered by Biddeford-Saco-OOB Courier reporter, Aaron Smith.〔(Aaron Smith article for Biddeford-Saco-OOB Courier 11-12-2002 )〕〔(Portland Press Herald obituary )〕
Carbee made copies of Jeremy Workman's short film "Carbee's Barbies" and passed them around.〔(http://www.docnyc.net/news/magical-universe-the-art-of-al-carbee/ )〕 This led to his first and only exhibit of his work during his lifetime, which was at the Saco Museum.〔(http://www.huffingtonpost.com/george-heymont/the-other-side-of-america_b_5606378.html )〕
