Biography
Portia Fitzsimmons was the owner of an art gallery in Collinsport, Maine. She developed an interest in the work of a local artist named Sam Evans, but had no desire to take in any of his modern pieces. She was only interested in paintings that he had crafted going back ten to twelve years earlier. She revealed that the style used in those works was coming back into fashion and she gave Sam a deadline of one week with which to gather together twelve or more paintings from that era.
