About the Artist
Artist John LaPorta
For as long as I can remember, I have had a love of the landscape and the luminous and endless variability of the sky.
In 2012, I finally listened to that persistent urge to pick up a brush and attempt to express with paint what has always inspired me.
The past few years have presented a multitude of challenges and discoveries; the first of which was the surprising feeling that landscape painting is what I was meant to do.
I grew up on the North Shore of Massachusetts and draw inspiration from the salt marshes and sea coast of New England. Recently, I have had the good fortune to frequent outer Cape Cod and explore its unique light and terrain.
Largely self-taught, I continue to search for the means to explore the intimate and mysterious relationship between our perceptual world and the natural beauty surrounding us.
I am a long time student of music and photography and currently reside in Haverhill, MA.
