Pacific Northwest fine artist and photographer, Anna Porter is pleased to announce that Positive Energy, an original work of abstract expressionist art created by the artist to commemorate the Women's March on Washington: Portland, held on January 21, 2017 in Portland, Oregon, is now available for purchase HERE on the artist's website.

 

Inspired by the fellowship of the people participating in the Portland Women's March on January 21, 2017, Anna Porter decided to create a commemorative work of art from a double exposure photograph that she captured, as she and tens of thousands of fellow marchers, walked under the Hawthorne Bridge on Naito Parkway in downtown Portland, Oregon. There, musicians were playing and chanting to support the marchers, many of whom had waited patiently for up to two hours in the pouring rain on a cold January day for the march to begin. The image captures the spirit of fellowship, determination, and positive energy that the artist felt in the community on that day, and that she experienced under the bridge. The original photograph was edited in TangledFx and Aviary to create the finished digital image.

 

Retail price for the 24" X 16" limited edition (1 of 100) fine art print on polished high gloss aluminum is $200.00. Anna Porter is pleased to offer fellow marchers a 30% Friends and Family discount on the commemorative artwork. Contact the artist directly and mention discount code PortlandWomensMarch at the time of order for the special marchers price of $140.00.

 

Positive Energy arrives ready to hang with a 1/2 inch inset float frame on reverse. Other sizes and substrates are available, and shipping is available for an additional fee. For a complete product and price list please contact the artist.

Lake Oswego fine artist and photographer, Anna Porter of Anna Porter Artist has been chosen as the October/November Featured Artist at Cascade Sotheby's Lake Oswego. The Opening Reception for the artist's solo exhibit will be held on the Third Thursday, October 20, 2016 from 4:00PM to 7:00PM and is open to the public. The exhibit will feature the artist's works of art from nature, including her brilliant watercolor and acrylic paintings and photography from her beautiful gardens, Anna's Gardens, at her home studio in Lake Oswego, Oregon, as well as paintings and photography by the artist from other public gardens in Portland, Oregon, and favorite places throughout the Pacific Northwest. 

 

 

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. Three of her paintings from the event will appear in the Arts Council of Lake Oswego (http://artscouncillo.com)'s Lake Oswego Plein Air Exhibit at 510 Museum & ARTSpace, located at the corner of B Avenue and Second Street in Lake Oswego, Oregon from October 7, 2016 to October 28, 2016. 

 

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.

 

 

Anna Porter invites you to join her for the Opening Reception of her solo exhibit at Cascade Sotheby's, 310 North State Street, Lake Oswego, Oregon 97034 from 4:00PM to 7:00PM on Thursday, October 20, 2016.
