Porter Design Signs Painter Laureate Elizabeth Blackadder

Art Business News, May, 2001

SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--Porter Design has announced the release of 12 new botanical watercolor prints by Scottish artist, Elizabeth Blackadder. According to the company, the exclusive introduction of Blackadder's pictures into its art catalog ranks among its most exciting news to date, as until now, she has effectively remained aloof from the commercial world. Shortly after her signing with Porter, Blackadder was given the honorary title of Painter Laureate by Elizabeth II.

Porter has also made new editions to other sections of the catalog, including Marcel Vertes pencil drawings, Benois costume designs and sepia-toned palms.
