Cambridge Matthews

My name is Cambridge Phillip Jerome Matthews. I am a Cartoonist and Illustrator born in Landstuhl, Germany but raised in Lake Charles, Louisiana since I was 6 years old. I am an African American US Army brat who is part of the LGBTQIA+ community as well. I learned under my elementary and high school art teacher Kym Klaus about Visual arts and from amazing faculty of McNeese State University including Art Historian Bridget McDaniel, Book Maker Heather Kelly, Landscape Artisan Meghan Fleming, Figurative painter/artist extrodinare Gerry Wubben, Graphic Designer and Illustrators Larry Schuch and Marty Bee and more! I love the small community college staff and classmates I met there and I admire all those who teach as a profession so forgive my overenthusiasm but I find my simple works are genuine because of the support and care my teachers and loved ones gifted me to succeed as an artist. I believe in using myvart to help people understand each other better not to manipulate and so I hope that if you desire s print for your office or as a gift it connects you to the people xpu love no matter how distant they are.
