Matthew is a Cherokee artist working in various mediums and teaches Cherokee foundational arts as well as artist entrepreneur business coaching at the Cherokee Arts Center. His work can be found throughout Cherokee Nation facilities across the Reservation and has art for sale in the Spider Gallery. He draws his inspiration from the beauty that surrounds us and has resided in the Cherokee Reservation for all but his first three years of life. Although his family had little choice when exiled here in 1838, they made the best of it and today he calls it "home".
