Silkscreen

Matt learned the screen printing process in 2016. Matt's silkscreen work reflects many facets of his personal life and interests as well as his stylistic influences. Currently, Matt's work has been influenced by his home region of New England and more specifically Rhode Island and his home town of Little Compton. Characteristics of Matt's work include pop culture imagery, bold use of color, and stylized use of line, shape, and pattern. Matt also prints his own clothing with the screen printing process.

Woodcuts and Linocuts

Matt began cutting linoleum and wood blocks in 2016, he utilizes linocuts to create more bold and graphic work. His use of the color black as well as the curved cuts in his linework can be seen across most of his prints. Most of Matt's linocut prints have been done for his own personal pleasure although some of his pieces were done during class at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Most recently, Matt was selected to participate in BIG INK's upcoming show in June 2020.

Engravings

Matt began engraving in 2017 and has enjoyed the specificity of the carving process. He often uses engraving to portray imagery that is related to nature because of the soft yet graphic texture that engraving provides. All of Matt's engraving work has been done outside of the classroom.

Drawings

As an artist, Matt believes that drawing is the most important tool that one can possess. Matt believes that drawing is the root of most forms of art and therefore it should be learned first. Matt began drawing at the age of 3 and has continued to refine his skills since. The drawings displayed belong are mainly for academic purposes, though some of the pieces were done for personal pleasure.
