Matthew Wood was born in 1973 and trained at The School of Art, University of Wales. MA in Fine Art - Painting. Has exhibited at Theatre Clwyd, John Moores 25, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool and Oriel Plas Glyn-y-Weddw.

Matthews work covers varied subject matter but this collection is drawn from his interest in interiors. Painting on found and fabricated sections of board, paintings are completed in one sitting and from one site specific location. Matthew explains: "My work explores the environment whether it be constructed or natural. I am interested in a sense of place and atmosphere and the painterly depiction of space and distance."
