Angie Porter

Emerging artist whose nature-inspired paintings find the joy of colour in her exuberant landscapes.

Angie Porter paints on recycled materials and reuses frames and second-hand materials to produce her work.

Angie Porter trained in Anthropology and Philosophy in Melbourne, Australia. She completed studies in Fine Art in Melbourne and at the Cass School of Art at London University 2006 -2009. She has exhibited in group exhibitions in the UK, Europe and Australia over the years including at the National Portrait Gallery in London. SECRET GARDENS is her first solo exhibition.

Angie is also a writer and leads a regular women’s poetry group called ‘She Speaks’ in Bridport. Angie will also be hosting the first Poetry Slam at the upcoming Dorchester Literary Festival.

“I believe the only way we can survive as a species is to stop the rampant consumerism and mental anxiety that our industrialised world propagates. ‘Making do’ with what we have and appreciating the gifts of nature transforms our being from consumer to something more human. To enjoy being alive in a garden. To connect with colour and light outside and the light within. That is my secret wish for myself and for you.”

Porter lives in Dorset with her family.
