A lifetime Painter, Elaine Porter has paintings in private and corporate collections worldwide including Fuji, Sony, JVC, Pranda Jewelry Intl., and more.
Inspired by her observations of life, Porter finds no shortage of subject matter. Plein Air painting has always been a passion. In recent years Porter's work is also done in the studio working from inspirations from her catalog of photographs taken in her travels.
Her newest work is executed in various mediums including Oil, Pastel and mixed media.
My aim is to depict the colors and textures we see everywhere in our world and to create peaceful works that offer the viewer a place to push the pause button and breath.
