As a young man, Greg Mort arrived in Maine the summer of 1977 and was so
struck by the beauty of the star filled night sky and rugged coast he
promised he would always return and someday make his home here. For over
thirty-three years he has returned each summer and built his home and studio
in Port Clyde, Maine where his hosts his annual Open Studio the first
weekend in August each year. With the Smithsonian, Farnsworth, Portland and
many other fine museums acquiring his works of art Mort's career grew and
his love of Maine continued to express itself in many of his paintings. An
astronomer as well as artist many of Mort's iconic images of the Maine
evening sky evoke the passion and fascination that draw so many visitors to
Maine from all over the world.
Mort works entirely from life hiking with his brushes and paints along the
shore and out to nearby coastal islands. His work features a wide variety
focusing on both the infinite and infinitesimal finding beauty in the minute
sands covering the shores and the vast stars above.
