Artist’s Reception- Friday June 10th, 7-9pm “Erotic on Pride” Born to artist parents, Matt has long had a passion for art but it is only recently that his life journey has led him to pursue this passion seriously. Primarily a portrait and figure artist, Matt will join in this years Pride celebration with his first ever solo showing of selected erotic works. Educated in Boston, Matt and his partner of 25 years moved to Philadelphia three years ago and subsequently opened a private art studio. It is here that Matt has been able to indulge most of his creative vigor, producing a flurry of work in oil as well as paper (a technique referred to as “Chinese paper cuts”.

In addition to these works, Matt has commissioned art pieces now hanging in private homes throughout the northeast. Matt also designed the logo design for the “Society Organized Against Racism in Higher Education” and several graphic art pieces for Community Change in Boston, Brown University
