Art of Love: The Paintings and Writings of Melinda Camber Porter
This program addresses the complex issues of love through the visual and written images of Melinda Camber Porter and are best described by Library Journal, "British-born Melinda Camber Porter is a complex contemporary talent, being poet and painter as well as correspondent for the London Times in Paris and New York. She speaks of her life, work, and struggle with art as paintings and excerpts of her writings from her exhibition. In her paintings naked figures move through ethereal impressionistic worlds rich in color while her poetry is strong in imagery. A good addition to serious art collections."
