Matt Anker

I have spent my life immersed in the creative arts.

The first part of my career was as a busy self-employed photographer within the music and film industries, working with an array of underground and high profile musicians and actors.

After a decade or so and having achieved my initial goals, I felt a calling to the more tranquil world of garden and plant photography. 

I now combine this with my third and current phase, a desire from as far back as I can remember, to explore art and painting. 
I paint textural abstract spaces, primarily inspired by music and nature. It is my own creative journey, an organic ever-evolving process.
They come from, and are about, mood.
Interpretation of the final result is left to the viewer. 

I continue to enjoy and develop what I do and have received awards for both my photography and art.
