Growing up in the seventies in Louisville, Kentucky, Matt Lively realized at an early age that he was more likely to become a professional artist than a professional baseball player: the odds were in his favor. All he needed was a good role model and an opportunity to hone his craft.
Inspired by household objects like clothing, furniture and kitchen appliances, Matt draws the objects on paper, canvas, or wood, then layers in a unique combination of materials in nondescript colors with subtle patterns. Each composition is unique; each item has its own personality.
