Jan 21 Artist Spotlight - Matthew Elliott

Biography

Hello, I'm Matthew Elliott, a self-taught mixed media artist with a passion for wet-on-wet oil and acrylic painting. Drawing inspiration from renowned artists such as Bob Ross and Marion Dutton, my creative focus centers on painting serene landscapes and majestic buffalo.

Art has become an essential part of my life, serving as a tool to help me navigate and manage PTSD and depression. Through my artistic practice, I strive not only to heal myself but also to inspire and encourage others who may be facing their own challenges. I warmly invite you to join me on this artistic journey and share in the transformative power of creativity.

Artist Statement

I create art as a means to understand and interpret the world around me. From a young age, I found solace in the interplay of colors, textures, and shapes—elements that could convey stories beyond the capacity of words.

My artistic process is deeply intuitive, involving a continuous cycle of layering, erasing, and rebuilding. This approach reflects the way each of us navigates our own evolving identities. Through my work, I hope to evoke moments of recognition and connection, fostering a sense of shared experience with others.
