Piece description from the artist
This was based off the hill leading up to the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown. More specifically, Monument Avenue. I tried to capture the feeling of such a historic neighborhood, in the moments when its dark and cold, and only the locals are out, shoveling their drives. The area silent and devoid of tourists. That kind of silence can truly transform a neighborhood.
While teaching painting at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and the Eliot School of Fine and Applied Arts, he has also created murals and custom artwork for Starbucks, Walmart, General Electric, Salem State University, the Punto Urban Art Museum, the Downtown Boston BID and the City of Boston. He has presented many works in galleries, universities, and venues throughout the Boston area and is a member of the Copley Society of Art. Portman helped create the largest watercolor painting on record with a traveling Holocaust history exhibit in 2024, and was featured on the GBH Community Canvas in 2025.
