Matthew’s practice spans over two and a half decades, which included permanent displays in Ardmore Gallery, Midleton Courtyard Gallery and Old Market House Arts Centre Dungarvan. He also sells privately from his home studio.
Matthew’s work is not just limited to painting, it also includes sculptures, one of which was selected by Ardmore Tidy Towns, and now stands as a permanent sculpture in Ardmore village, Co. Waterford. Matthew says that his paintings are influenced by his time working for Arthur K. Maderson, where he spent 2 years working on framing and projects around Arthur’s home in Cappoquin, Co. Waterford.
After many years, Matthew has found his own style, which is continuously evolving. Matthew’s study of the human form is becoming more informed and developed, with a blend of Impressionism and Realism in his more recent work, depicting manual labourers.
