This painting an imaginative rendering of a distopic tropical landscape. Heat, over stimulation, and erosion are some of the words that came to mind while working through this painting. Thick areas of oil paint are juxtaposed with scraped down surfaces and various paint residue.

3 questions on inspiration with
Matt Higgins
We're asking artists to choose one notable person, place and object that has inspired them in their journey so far. We're mapping inspiration at a scale never attempted before
01.
Person
I've had so many professors that have helped me along in different ways, this is what inspired me to pursue education. Michael Moore, a retired professor at PAFA taught me so much about the philosophy and spirit behind the creation of art. Kate Moran, a graduate critic of mine was always brutally honest and sincere about my work and always pushed me to be "more specific", a phrase that still sticks in my head today. Two undergraduate professors Jaime Treadwell and Kate Stewart were extremely supportive in my development and have been very supportive in my teaching career as well. Jon Redmond, an incredible observational painter taught me so much about direct painting and painting from life. Last but not least, Brian Magargal, my high school art teacher pushed me to see talent I did not know I had at the time and helped me believe in myself as an artist. So many people! I'm sure I am leaving someone out, I feel very fortunate for all the help I have had along the way.
02.
Place
I am really drawn to the landscape, mountain ranges, horizon lines, etc... The ocean and any open space is always inspirational. More specifically memories of trips to the Southwest, Arizona and New Mexico have been big inspirations for my current work.
03.
Object
I don't know if it is an object but the circle as either a geometric shape, a sun, or a moon has been what my work has mostly revolved around the past two years or so.
