Maybe someone from Florida can help with this question.
I have some wallpieces made from cast plaster, two inches
thick, and mixed media (clay, paper, silver, oil paints,
wood, glass). Someone is interested in buying them to
hang them on a screened porch in humid Florida. They
would not be exposed to rain, just humidity. The plaster
is quite cured, oil painted on one side.
What effect might the humidity have on them?
any info? guesses?

Shouldn't have any effect at all.
If any of the wood is rigidly mounted to, or partly enclosed by the plaster,
there may be some slight cracking as the wood swells and shrinks with the
humidity.
