Background
Matthew majored in painting and drawing at Tyler School of Art. After completing his degree he worked for some time with the Philadelphia Mural Arts Project under the guiding eye of Jane Golden. Matthew left the project to pursue a career as a high school fine arts teacher, a decision he has never regretted. As a child Matthew took classes in the non-competitive atmosphere at the Barn and was inspired by Pat and her innate connection with her students through fine arts. These days he finds inspiration in his own students. Their being is always driving him forward to find new ways for the youths of today to connect to fine art in a world of ever changing advancements in technology that seem to engulf there every waking moment. “I still believe there is a need for the eye and the hand of the artist in everyplace and everyone.”
