• Illustration — 50th Street (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line) Porter's work often focuses on themes of simulacrum, mass reproduction, entropy, and boundaries between image and reality. She cites Luis Felipe Noe, Giorgio Morandi, Roy Lichtenstein, the Arte Povera group, and the Guerrilla Girls as influences on her work. She has exhibited internationally, and currently lives and works in New York. • Illustration — Scarborough Train Station (2) She has twice created work for the MTA of New York City's Arts for Transit and Urban Design program—a program dedicated to creating public art for New York City Subway stations. In 1994, Porter created the mosaic series Alice: The Way Out, featuring imagery inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland for the 50th Street subway station. In 2012, she collaborated with Uruguayan artist Anna Tiscornia to create Untitled With Sky, a glass windscreen and glass mosaic seating for the Scarborough station. Porter and Tiscornia are continuing their collaboration and will exhibit their new work in January 2013 at the Galería del Paseo in Montevideo, Uruguay. In 2018, the Pérez Art Museum Miami, presented a major solo project by Porter. The site specific installation El hombre con el hacha y otras situaciones breves (2014/2017) comprised nearly one hundred individual sculptural pieces and fragments relating the artist's signature language, themes, and characters including elements first presented in Liliana Porter's 2017 Venice Biennale project for the Argentina pavilion.
