Albert Nickerson Carbee (February 10, 1914 – October 3, 2005) was a reclusive artist from Saco, Maine whose mixed media artwork merges collage, photography, diorama, and portraiture.

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 where he built layouts and billboards for the Central Maine Power Company.

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.

Much of his work, especially his photography, features Barbie dolls uniquely dressed inhabiting various otherworldly environments and living in a magical realm, which he called "Epicuma".
