Greg Mort and his son Jon Mort will both hold open studios on August 1 and 2, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a special Artist Discussion on Saturday at 1 p.m., at Fieldstone Castle, 129 Marshall Pt Rd, Port Clyde, Maine. 

In "Illuminations II", Greg Mort displays a new collection of twelve oil paintings focusing on his fascination with an interrelated themed series of small-scale images that capture the ever-changing sea, sky and landscapes of Maine. 

In addition to his Port Clyde show Greg's artworks were also presented in national and international exhibitions including his traveling collection “Inspired by the Cosmos” in Georgia, a one person show; “A Winter’s Day” at Somerville Manning Gallery and a group gallery artist show at the Carla Massoni Gallery. According to a news release, Mort’s art can be found in many prominent museum collections including the National Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian, Farnsworth, Portland and many more. Just this year the Reading Public Museum acquired his large-scale watercolor “Laser Apple”.

A self-taught artist, Greg first came to Maine to paint in 1977 and was “adopted” by the Armstrong and Cook lobstering families. He has returned every summer since then and in 1988 purchased and restored Russell W. Porter’s historic Fieldstone Castle.

Mort and his artist son Jon Mort continue their annual open studio tradition in their post and beam barn/studio located in Port Clyde near the Marshall Point Lighthouse. For more information please see GregMort.com or 207-372-8658.
