Originally from Selma, Alabama and now based in Birmingham, Porter creates detailed, memory-rich work in acrylic, watercolor, and oil.
Whether painting rolling landscapes, southern architecture, or the quiet calm of a riverbank, Porter’s work draws from his childhood surroundings and his deep appreciation for the outdoors. He works on paper, canvas, and even grass cloth—always with an eye for preserving special places and moments in color.
A graduate of Samford University, Porter discovered his love for painting in a freshman art class (where he also met his wife, Emily, now an interior designer). Though he pursued a degree in business, painting remained a meaningful part of his life—and now a full-time passion.
