Matthew Moffett

Biography
Matthew Moffett is a self-taught artist that paints for the love of painting. Raised in California, Oklahoma and Spain, Moffett was taught to appreciate beauty in all forms and also to express this beauty through art. Not realizing his artistic talents could afford him a living, Matt went on to become a Spanish teacher and translator after living and studying in Spain for a period of 5 years. Matt then went on to teach at a correctional facility and start a painting program for 2,800 very bored inmates and funded the program from his own pocket. Matt created M2 studio when one of his dogs died suddenly of a brain aneurysm. Matt searched for someone to create a portrait of his dog, but found very few and very EXPENSIVE artists that were willing to do so. Matt decided that he would take a talent that was encouraged by his artistic mother and take a shot at painting his dogs. The first portraits were very interpretive, but his friends were supportive and loved the idea. From then on Matt has painted all of his friends dogs and from word of mouth, he was commissioned to do several others. The commissions have never stopped. Moffett, or m2, has gone on to paint for clients in 8 countries, including royalty and U.S. presidents.
 
Statement
"As a natural artist, i have studied all those artists who come before me. I am honored to call myself a painter, and thankful to live this lifestyle. I think art is important, it's a look into the soul of each person's subconciousness. Invest and enjoy in each artist. Life is too short.
