Contemporary Landscapes and 3-D Art on Display at Centenary's Turner Art Center

	Exhibit at Turner Art Center through Feb. 17.

SHREVEPORT, LA —An exhibit by Louisiana artist Mary Louise Porter will be on display at Centenary's Turner Art Center gallery through Friday, Feb. 17, with a reception for the artist Sunday, Jan. 29 from 2- 4 p.m.

Porter's vivid, contemporary landscapes and three-dimensional media have been exhibited nationwide. She also paints walking canes in custom themes, having been inspired to give personality to her mother's "ugly, brown cane." Examples of her artwork can be found at www.artcanes.com.

Having received a BFA and MFA in painting from Louisiana State University, Porter now teaches a survey of the arts course for Louisiana Virtual School as well as studio classes for Louisiana School for Math, Science and the Arts.
