After successful careers as an art director in the publishing industry, a widely travelled commercial photographer and as a sculptor in the film and tv industry, in 2014 Matt (b.1973) started the journey back full circle to his first love of painting and drawing.
The majority of Matt’s works are sold directly to collectors. To date they are held in private collections in Italy, Australia, New Zealand, France, Denmark and England.
He now lives in Switzerland with his wife and three children.
