Born in Spokane WA, Matthew grew up in a smaller city where he was able to build very strong core values. Through the combination of his parents’ support (since they noticed his talent in the Arts early), and the values he was taught, he represented himself as raw, and as honestly as he could. The style of his painting represents all the integrity and depth he acquired in his upbringing.
