About Peter Matthews

My work has been shown internationally at galleries and institutions including the Drawing Center, NY, the North Carolina Museum of Art and the Royal West Academy in England to name some. I work directly in and with the ocean. Matthews was awarded the prestigious Hugh Casson Drawing Prize by the Royal Academy, London in 2017. His work is in private and institutional collections worldwide.
