Geoffrey Mark Matthews

Geoffrey Mark Matthews was born in 1954 and grew up in North Yorkshire. After Richmond School I went through the English art school system studying in Scarborough and Leeds. I experimented for a year in performance and visual arts before moving to London in 1979. I worked as an exhibition and museum designer until becoming a lecturer in 1986. I live in Lincolnshire and I am now a full-time artist, writer and independent researcher.

"If I have a philosophy it is a fairly pragmatic one: I have no use for distinctions between one art and another. I try to remain open to the quality of the materials to hand and make what I can of them. That is all."
