Greg Mort

Greg Mort is a widely recognized American contemporary artist whose unmistakably modern creations have the classic feel of the Dutch Masters juxtaposed with startlingly modern designs. His signature images combine his twin passions for science and nature. Mort’s art is in many prominent collections including the Smithsonian, National Gallery of Art, Delaware Art Museum, Farnsworth Museum, Academy Art Museum, Portland Museum of Art, Brandywine River Museum and The White House. A commissioned NASA artist since 1983 Mort’s passion for science and astronomy is apparent in his celestial inspired paintings. His painting ZERO-G Apples was selected for the First Art Exhibition in Space aboard the International Space Station and his portrait of Carl Sagan is featured at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. In 2003 he established The Art of Stewardship Project, a foundation that supports and encourages environmental awareness through the arts. During the winter Mort lives and paints in rural Montgomery County Maryland and in summer on the Maine coast in the village of Port Clyde. www.GregMortCollection.com
