Matthew Rowe is an artist and builder currently living in Blue Lake, CA. He grew up in the Mojave Desert of Southern California, and has spent much of his life outdoors, driving from one coast of the country to the other. His paintings are inspired by the landscapes he interacts with, the rural, the metropolitan, and the peculiar space between. Working within an array of mediums, with loose, intuitive strokes and markings, he efficaciously portrays the nuances of the world around him in abstract form.
