Matthew Fulkerson

Matthew’s love for the arts began at an early age with reading, with a book always in hand a defense and refuge from the affronts of childhood and adolescence. He began to sketch the scenes from the books he read, his imagination inspired by the fanciful and science fiction stories he loved to read. As an adult he discovered the complexities and the various art forms, mediums and techniques while living next to an art college. Most of his neighbors in the apartment building were art students, surrounded by artist and their projects, assignments, and home work he was immersed into the art world. Studying vicariously through his neighbors Matthew began a love and study of the arts that has never diminished. Matthew shares his love of art as an instructor introducing others to the joy of painting.
