Wall Art Decor for Elegant Mountain Homes

I love creating beautiful wall art for mountain homes out of locally harvested materials like bark, vines and branches. It's a great way to bring the outside inside while enjoying a beautifully elegant aesthetic. Check out some of the recent wall hangings I've created - by commission - for my clients. I'd love to create something special for your home, too!

One Client's Story...

"Having seen Matt's work in a home on a  garden tour this summer I immediately bought a piece as he had a few pieces there that were available and he was there to talk about them .  I was enchanted by his description of how these works of art evolve.  When I got the first piece hung I ordered two others and went to his studio to help pick a few of the elements to be included.  After several months they were delivered and once again were perfect.  Now I want to add to my small collection. He is a true artist!"

Why Sculptural Art for the Wall?

pieces are made one of a kind for spaces
Sculptural art offers an accent to the wall and an entire space in a way that two dimensional work simply cannot. While paintings, etchings. collage, and murals can be beautiful accents to a space, sculptural art's three dimensionality will be more exciting, interesting, and serve to change more as the day progresses, light changes and shadows are cast. 

These pieces are made one of a kind for spaces. I will measure, assess the overall design scheme of the place and consult with you on what specifically you are looking for as far as style, shape, and type of baskets. Then, I will work to produce a piece with your input and space in mind. In the end you will have a new focal point to your space and it will be made just for you.

The Artist's Philosophy

For me, it's never been about basketry. My connection with creating organic sculpture that's based in basketry has always been about the materials. Since being a college student at the University of Georgia, I've been enamored with nature and the opportunity to literally walk in the woods, harvest rough vines, bark, branches and then transform them into something beautiful.
Recently, I had a client comment on a piece I created for their mountain home here in Western North Carolina saying "Matt, how do you do this? It's like these pieces you create are literally growing out of the forest... Almost like you found them rather than created them."  What better compliment could I ask for?
