Matthews is a Little Rock, AK, native who started his career as an independent architect and, although very successful, discovered a passion for loose and Impressionistic painting. Matthews is an avid camper, hunter and fisherman and often immerses himself in nature’s elements with paintbrush in hand to capture unique perspectives and detailed beauty. Matthews says, “Painting outdoors, surrounded by nature, in all seasons, I am energized. I have a sense of inner strength, joy, and peace I feel nowhere else. My very vision changes and paintings appear on my canvases as though put there by some mysterious force.”

You can witness this contemporary landscape painter create compelling local and worldwide landscapes consisting of distinct texture and bold color. Matthews is always eager to discuss his inspiration and career while painting. 

Visit the gallery February 10th-16th (10 a.m.-5:30 p.m.) for the opportunity to meet, greet and watch Patrick Matthews paint. The gallery is located at 165 King Street, Charleston.
