Recently, Anna Porter was one of the participating artists in the Lake Oswego Plein Air Paint Out from September 22-25, 2016. An annual event sponsored by the Arts Council of Lake Oswego, local Lake Oswego artists paint outdoors "en plein air" at locations throughout the city.

Many of the artist's works recently were featured in her first showcase in the RAWArtists Portland Showcase VERVE at The Roseland Theater in Portland, Oregon on September 29, 2016. An active member of Oregon Society of Artists, Anna Porter's paintings and photography appear regularly in group exhibits in the Gallery at Oregon Society of Artists in Portland, Oregon, where her stunning abstract realism painting, In Full Bloom, won Best in Show at the 2015 Portland Rose Festival Art Show, and her beautiful ethereal painting, Harmony at Twilight won Honorable Mention at the 2016 Portland Rose Festival Art Show.
Anna Porter is thrilled to have the first solo exhibit of her professional artistic career in Cascade Sotheby's beautiful offices in the city of Lake Oswego, Oregon, where Anna has resided with her artist husband, George Porter, for over 25 years, and where the couple raised their only daughter, Christina Lynn Porter, who is currently completing a Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado.
"I am so excited to be able to share my love of nature, and especially the images from my gardens at my home in Lake Oswego, Oregon, where I truly feel blessed to have lived all these years. My hope is that my artwork will help people notice and appreciate the beauty that is all around us, and that they will experience the same sense of awe and tranquility that I do in nature. I hope they enjoy looking at my art as much as I did creating it." ~ Anna Porter
Known for her use of vivid colors and a high key palette in her paintings, and the ability to capture brilliant colors and details in her floral photography, the show is sure to brighten the grey days of late October and November frequently experienced here in the Portland area.
