Born in rural Ohio, Matthew spent his childhood summers roaming the woods and farms and in the winter months he would make art, build toys and create imaginary lands. As a child he watched older sister draw beautiful drawings and spent hours look at his mother’s paintings in their living room.
He attended The Ohio State University, initially to study painting then transitioned to industrial design. He has exhibited his work in the Bay Area for the past 15 years. He currently resides in Palo Alto California.
His work focuses primarily on the source of expression, identity, and emotion; he tempts the viewer to share a memory, an experience, by reflecting ourselves into the images portrayed. His intention is to express the spirit of the subject rather than emphasize a literal likeness.
