Thanks for visiting my online gallery. I’d love to know who you are since you’ve taken the time to view my work. Please sign the online guestbook before leaving so we can make sure you are added to my mailing list. Please also consider becoming a fan or friend of H.C. Porter on Facebook.

The H.C. Porter Gallery is located at 1216 Washington Street in the historic downtown district of Vicksburg, Mississippi. Vicksburg is located on the bluffs of the Mississippi River 40 miles west of Jackson, Mississippi’s capital city. With exciting revitalization, beautiful architecture, and blending present day with the past, Vicksburg is one of Mississippi’s most popular tourist cities. Historic Highway 61, as well as sections of the Great River Road National Parkway and the Mississippi Blues Trail, run right in front of the 19th century four-story building which is now my home and signature gallery.

Please consider becoming a part of my newest documentary project, Blues at Home, a collection of environmental portraits featuring 30 of Mississippi's living blues legends. My mixed media paintings will be combined with live field recordings of the painting subjects. Visit this new section of our site to learn more about this historic collection and find out how to sponsor one of the paintings.

This important project comes on the heels of my exhibition of 81 mixed media paintings and coinciding audio documenting the first year after Hurricane Katrina on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Read more about Backyards & Beyond: Mississippians and Their Stories.
