About the Arist: Matt Lively

"I make images that suggest a story without a beginning or end. Learning to stop before the piece reveals too much is the most delicate aspect of my process."

An artist from Richmond, VA, Matt Lively's diverse skills include sculpture, painting, and murals, along with creating installations, working on films, and illustrating books. In his time outside of his studio, Lively teaches at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Studio School.
