Welcome to my portfolio! I am excited to share my somewhat eclectic range of portraits, landscapes and imaginative concepts with you. I have always been a creative individual and my life has always been full of music, songwriting, (I also teach guitar), creative writing and drawing. My paintings range from large oils on stretched canvas, to small acrylic pieces on canvas board. I am often inspired by people with characterful faces or expressions that convey particular moods and feelings, translating them into bold, expressive portraits. I also have a huge love of nature, animals and the countryside - these inspirations often ending up on my canvases after days out exploring and taking pictures to paint. Then there are the pieces that simply originate from my imagination - bubbling up from the depths of my subconscious mind until they are realized in fully tangible form on the canvas before me.
I like to think that my range of varied works in oils, acrylic and sometimes both, provide something for everyone depending on the mood and context.
I hope you enjoy exploring my work as much as I have enjoyed my journey creating them!

Matt
