Art. Nicol Porter


THIS IS THE FIRST NEW ART POST, THIS ONE WILL NOT DISAPPEAR ONCE MULTIPLY TURN THE LIGHTS OFF.

The Nicole Porter gallery.
This is exactly where I was, inside those purple doors sipping white wine at the opening of her most recent exhibition when I decided there really was something wrong with my eye and I needed to go home as soon as possible.
Nicole Porter was born in Aberdeen, trained as an Artist in Dundee and now runs the Nicole Porter gallery in Aberdeen.
The exhibition I went to see was not an exhibition of her work but an exhibition of other local artists. Her work was on  display at the back of the gallery and to say I was impressed is an understatement.
