ABOUT MATTHEW LORD

In 1999, Matthew graduated with a BFA in Illustration from the University of Kansas. In the years since, he has achieved many distinct milestones in his career, including several solo and group exhibitions, featured editorial illustrations, lectures and workshops.  Being an artist has allowed him to take on the roles of teacher, facilitator, mentor, curator and storyteller. Matthew’s ultimate goal in creating is to spark awe with his weird wonderful beautiful art.

Matthew’s artwork communicates a sense of playfulness and absurdity while incorporating elements of fantastic realism. Using his preferred media of gouache, ink and printmaking, Matthew seeks to tell thoughtful visual stories drawn from his curiosity for the natural world and a love of mythology. His projects, commissions and collaborations vary from small paintings, to gigantic woodcut prints, to a moving mural on wheels resembling a jackalope.

Matthew lives and makes artwork in Lawrence, KS— his fingers are often covered in ink and he still draws at a kitchen table.
