My name is Evan LaPorte and I am a painter living in New Bedford, Ma. I am a subjective painter concerned with formal issues, however I am not concerned with accurate representation. I am focused on honest translation and the creation of images informed by my hand, my history and my observations. The artists hand, the history of mark making and the process are my primary focus when creating an image. This page is an opportunity to share my paintings and some of my inspirations.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

These photos are from a walk on West Island a few weeks ago. I got some cool sketches down that morning. Really cold though and I forgot how fast the tide can come in. The water is so flat there that it's easy to forget there is even a tide. I almost got caught out in the marsh. It's places like this that really reset my brain.
