BIOGRAPHY

Matt Klein is a Colorado artist who has enjoyed painting the western landscape for more than 15 years. Not limited to the subject of landscape, he also enjoys the challenge and rewards of painting the human figure and still life subjects. With a colorful, "painterly" style leaning toward impressionism, Matt creates his realistic subjects with a loose brush, giving them a vibrant, modern slant. Finding the beautiful, abstract nature of everyday objects and scenery is what Matt lives for as an artist.

Classically trained at the Colorado Academy of Art, a French "atellier" style art school in Boulder Colorado, Matt developed a classical art foundation that serves his realistic tendencies. He has studied with many instructors including Quang Ho, Scott Christensen, Kim English, Michelle Torrez, Robert Liberace, Sherrie McGraw, Kevin Weckbach, and Robert Spooner. Matt also loves to teach, and is currently teaching a landscape painting course in Boulder, Colorado (click CLASSES on the home page).
