Matthew Alker
Matthew studied art at A-level but then became a science teacher. When he moved to Brighton around 20 years ago, the people, the wildlife and the local landscape inspired him to pick up a paint brush once again. Painting now fills his weekends and holidays.His favourite medium to work in is oils, and he loves to have several pieces on the go at once. As well as traditional scenes of nature, the sea and the Sussex landscape, he likes to bring imagination and a touch of the bizarre into his pieces. Recent themes have included Royalty in unexpected places, animals in drag, and seagulls dressed as celebrities.
He is always up for a challenge, so if you have an idea of a celebrity you’d like turned into a seagull, or any other animal for that matter, let him know!
