The Connection to the Work
Art becomes meaningful when it creates a personal connection. Viewers often describe my work as emotional, personal, and thought-provoking, responding especially to the interplay of light, shadow, and atmosphere.
My hope is that each collector discovers something of their own within the work—a memory, a feeling, or a story. The goal is not simply to place artwork on a wall, but to create something you can live with and continue to experience over time.

Real experiences from people who have collected my artwork, trusted me to photograph meaningful moments, or worked with me creatively. Approved testimonials will be shared here as they are received.
“Matt did a picture for a friend of mine. She was very happy with the detail, as she was seeing things that brought back lots of memories and tears. She brought up the tree in the yard and the memories! I made sure to ask her more than once, and she always said yes. Yes, she was happy.”
— Al Godbey
“Matt made this for me and my granddaughter last Christmas, and I absolutely love it! I highly recommend him.”
— Joellen Whetstone
“Twelve years ago, Matt generously hosted a show in his gallery for my music. His friends and art patrons filled the gallery, surrounded by his art and photography, the teaching of art, martial arts, and some paranormal activity tracking. Magic? He does that. Comedy? Yes. Music? Yes, again. I still have photos he took that night hanging in my home. It was an amazing gesture of friendship and encouragement that ranks high in my life.”
— Mike Lieser
“Great experience for my son’s senior pictures. Absolutely love our photos! Matt is very personal and has great work ethic.”

Matt has created pieces for me that speak to my soul. His work is normally of everyday situations. However, the way he uses light and shadow to bring out the inner essence of the scene elevates it to the spiritual, the sublime. It’s hard to express in words. But each of his pieces touches deep, inside. Not unlike Hopper who used everyday scenes to communicate things about the human condition, Matt’s work does the same. But with a warmth and compassion that reveals an active connection between artist and subject. His work is beautiful, insightful, and loving

We are so grateful for everything that Matt did that day and would definitely use him again in the future. Thanks Matt.”

I gave Matt several options of our dog named
October to sketch. He picked the perfect
picture and did an amazing job. I put it in a
frame and now we share the photo in our
living room. We Love it! Thanks Matt!

Matt took the Senior Pictures for both of my
sons. He came to our farm which is on the
other side of town for him. My younger son
even had him at his high school for pictures
on the baseball field. Matt was very
accommodating. The pictures were great! He is
very patient, has great ideas and has an artist
eye. Senior Pictures are a special time and
keepsake and I'm happy I trusted Matt to be
the one to take both of my sons' pictures.
highly recommend Matt.

We absolutely adore Matt and he is so very
talented. He has a wonderful, easy going,
and humorous personality. He made this
beautiful piece of ART by request from my
train loving daughter. We framed it and my
daughter proudly displays it on her bedroom
wall. Thanks Matt!! You ROCK!!
-Nikki Gray
Matt is about attention to detail! He did this
piece for me and it is absolutely fabulous!
Matt is a true artist who continues to push
himself with every piece he creates. Highly
recommended!
-Scott Calcaterra
Matt took our family photos a while ago, and
they turned out AMAZING! His relaxed
approach made our family of four feel
comfortable, and he had such great posing
ideas. He made the whole process look
effortless! He even inspired me to pick up a
camera myself, and now I just hope to be as
good as he is someday. So grateful for the
beautiful photos and the inspiration!
