In-Town Landscapes is a collection of paintings by Mary Porter.
Porter’s work reflects life experienced in nature. Within this collection, the stories of some of Athens’s most familiar landscapes are retold in striking detail and vibrant color. In her painting, Porter depicts the dynamic nature of the world around us: “Quiet your mind and observe. You will see that there is life everywhere . . . and nothing is static. Even a rock is changing, although very slowly.” The ever-evolving nature of human beings
is an integral part of this process, given the level of human impact upon the landscape. Or, to summarize: “What we see reflects who we are in that moment.”
