Originally from San Antonio and now based in Austin, Texas, Matthew’s path to the studio was a journey of reclamation. After a brief foray into Business Finance at the University of Texas at San Antonio, he realized his path lay elsewhere, pivoting into a flourishing career in marketing. Today, he balances a successful career as a marketing manager in the e-commerce space with an international art practice. At twenty-three, Matthew returned to his creative roots, rediscovering clay as the primary language for his observations.

Currently, his work in sculpture is a celebration of playfulness and joy. Using clay to embody iconic symbols of youth, Matthew’s collections highlight an intentional dialogue between the viewer and their own inner child. Through these playful forms, he explores the "Fragility and modality of life," operating under the firm belief that we can create our own heaven through mindset and presence. While clay is his current focus, Matthew views his practice as an evolving horizon, with long-term plans to reintegrate painting to build immersive scenes and memories that transcend three-dimensional form.

In 2026, Matthew will begin an exclusive European partnership with La Scène des Artistes in Cannes, France. As part of this artist accelerator program, he is establishing a permanent international presence, continuing to share a perspective that radiates curiosity and invites others to see the world through a lens of wonder.
