Claire Elizabeth Cushman and Stuart Allan Reid were married July 27 at the summer place of the bride’s family in Sorrento, Me. The Rev. Nathan S. Speck-Ewer, an Episcopal priest, officiated.
Ms. Cushman, 31, is a painter who specializes in landscapes and will show her work in August at Star Gallery in Northeast Harbor, Me. Until June, she was a high school English teacher at the Brooklyn campus of Basis Independent Schools, a network of private schools. She graduated from Brown and received a master’s degree in painting from the New York Academy of Art.
She is the daughter of Heather M. Lawson and John G. Cushman of Toronto. The bride’s father is a vice president in the private client group at Beutel, Goodman & Company, an investment manager in Toronto. Her mother was a stay-at-home parent.
Mr. Reid, 33, is a managing editor at Foreign Affairs magazine, a publication of the Council on Foreign Relations, in Manhattan. He graduated summa cum laude from Dartmouth.
He is a son of Carol Findlay Reid and Dr. Andrew J. Reid of Haverford, Pa. The groom’s father, an otolaryngologist, retired as a partner in Findlay Ear Nose and Throat, a group medical practice in Findlay, Ohio. His mother was a stay-at-home parent.
The couple met in 2016 when Ms. Cushman asked her brother to help increase attendance at her art opening in Long Island City, Queens, and he invited Mr. Reid and others to the event. “I took one of her business cards and texted her, and that led to our first date,” he said.
