NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Matthew White
Award-winning watercolor artist and instructor from Kansas City, passionate about sharing the profound experience of creating art.
For me, creating art is a powerful experience; it's such a profound way to process, celebrate, and appreciate the world around us. It brings me great joy to share this experience with fellow artists and students.
My love of watercolor painting dates back to a time of incredible transition—the birth of my first child. During those first sleepless months, I realized that making time for artistic pursuits would require much more intentionality than before.
I was drawn to watercolor for its loose effect, the softness created by the intermingling colors on the paper, and the unique light-to-dark method it requires.
Watercolor doesn't allow you to obsess over a painting too long—it presses you forward, and it's invigorating to surrender to its steady, persistent flow.
In my paintings, I strive to convey a sense of space and depth, create rich atmosphere, and infuse a luminous feeling of light. I draw inspiration from Kansas City scenes, rural landscapes, and my travels.

"Painting, in some ways, reminds me of being a kid - the moments that I had completely by myself, just my imagination, where I felt the most at home. I like to get lost in reflections on the surface of water, or in the light that glares off of a windshield, or in colors blending and twisting together on wet pavement."
