Short Bio
Mathie's abstracted painting style conveys a realm that resonates somewhere between reality and imagination.
Statement
I have shown in art galleries professionally for 31 years and made my living from art the entire time. I am beyond grateful to have found my true passion and career in the same line of work. Thank you to so many art collectors, galleries, family and friends who have helped me along the way.
