Portsmouth Island
Founded in 1753, Portsmouth became the major port of entry for goods coming into North Carolina until around 1845. It served as a major hub for maritime trade up and down the East Coast of the United States and to the Caribbean. During the Civil War, most of the residents left the island, and very few of them returned after the war. Over the next century, many more residents left due to the bad hurricanes and lack of jobs. By the 1970s, the island was a deserted ghost town. The State of North Carolina began buying up the property on Portsmouth Island and, in 1976, gave the land to the Cape Lookout National Seashore. The Cape Lookout National Seashore has helped preserve the historic character of the village, which in turn has brought a surge in tourism. In 1994, the Friends of Portsmouth Island was formed. In addition to the National Seashore, it has worked to preserve the village as well as the history of the island.

James White
JamesWhite (b.1967) paints flawless black and white photorealist images. His mundane, almost incidental works, which at first glance appear to be straightforward snapshots, on closer inspection reveal themselves to be beautifully painted images.Whites paintings invest the everyday with a level of attention that is both fascinating and disturbing.White constructs his own focused world from the fragments he chooses to paint, and his works have the intensity of a crime scene photograph an unexplained moment forever captured. The details he documents lend themselves to multiple narratives that might describe the drama that inhabits these inanimate objects. In the search for evidence, the viewer is seduced by the technique of the painting, but closer scrutiny only makes it harder to define the nature of what makes the work appear so photographic, so apparently real. The absolute becomes elusive inWhites work. His world exists on the periphery of vision, where his subject matter begins and ends.
