Hi, I’m MatT.
I’m a Michigan-based artist, naturalist and writer. I want to change the way we think about the natural world.
There’s nothing I love more than spending time in nature, and my pursuits are informed by the desire to further our understanding of wild creatures and advocate for their protection. Throughout my life, this drive has taken many forms; I’ve spent time working in wildlife rehabilitation, museum collections, exhibit design, field research, education and ecotourism.
Please browse around and feel free to reach out if you’re interested in commissioning a piece of artwork or looking to plan private small-group expeditions.
