was born in 1963 and was raised in the Pacific Northwest. He received
a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Rhode Island School of Design in
1986 and a Master of Fine Arts from The School of Visual Arts in
1989.
In 1991, Porter began exploring classicism. His paintings of antiquity
and classical mythology have been exhibited in museums and galleries
around the country and have appeared in many publications, such
as The New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer and Art & Antiques
Magazine. Porter has lectured at a number of institutions such as
the University of Notre Dame, the Dahesh Museum of Art and the Institute
of Classical Architecture & Classical America, where he is a
Fellow Emeritus. Porter is a member of the INTBAU College of Traditional
Practitioners and a recipient of the Arthur Ross Award for Excellence
in the Classical Tradition.
Recent works have included large scale ecclesiastical murals, ceiling
designs for residential settings, mythological landscape paintings,
and decorative works such as painted furniture and bas-relief design.
Porter has created a number of drawings and prints based on the
Attic red figure style and is currently working on a large painting
of “The Sacrifice of Iphigeneia”.
Porter's work is represented in many collections, both public and
private, and may be viewed online at leonardporter.com and by appointment
in his New York Studio.
