JON MORT Open Studio TIDE UNBOUND

     Jon Mort Open Studio TIDE UNBOUND

Jon Mort will host his annual summer open studio “Tide Unbound” on August 2nd & 3rd, 10am to 5 pm, at Fieldstone Castle 129 Marshall Pt Rd Port Clyde, Maine 04855. An Artist Talk will be presented on Saturday at 1pm. Featured in this exhibition are new works in graphite, colored pencil as well as never seen before limited edition releases from Jon’s Print Portfolio Collection.

Jon shared that he hopes ““Tide Unbound” will draw the viewer into a meditation on the concept of permanence. Each piece is presented as a single fleeting moment that reflects our place in space and time. This collection clearly represents the powerful influence and inspiration the stark beauty of Maine has had on my creative process. Many of the natural objects featured in “Tide Unbound” were discovered on the islands off the coast of Port Clyde”.

While Jon’s startlingly realistic colored pencil & largescale graphite drawings have brought him broad acclaim, he is also a highly sought-after commissioned portrait artist. He received Fine Art and Classics degrees from Franklin and Marshall College and his Masters in Architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design.    

Jon’s creations have been shown in thirty one-person or group museum and gallery exhibitions. He is represented worldwide by Somerville Manning Gallery and the Carla Massoni Gallery.  Jon lives and maintains studios in Washington, DC and Port Clyde, Maine. JonMortStudio.com
