March Mattingly

Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), with concentration in Studio Art/Painting and Drawing from The University of Texas at Austin. I have been painting and drawing since I could pick up a pencil. As a child, I was fascinated by colors and patterns in nature. I work in a variety of media: oils or acrylics on canvas, charcoal, graphite, oil pastels and chalk pastels. My artwork themes are mainly of nature: landscapes, flora and fauna. My paintings and pastels are colorful and expressionistic, reflecting our perception of and interaction with favorite places and subject matter; in the context of physical places, emotional states of mind, or a point in time that we cherish from our own, unique, individual journey that we all make on this earth.
