Matt O’Neal

Born 1978, Birmingham, AL

Matt was raised in Georgia and North Carolina where he has taken permanent residence. He developed a profound appreciation for art from an early age after his parents brought him to a Matisse and Picasso exhibit at the High Museum in Atlanta. In his youth, Matt developed a core skillset while drawing and painting incessantly and carried that over to his adult life as an artist where he continues to learn and grow. He earned degrees from both NC State University and the ECU School of Art and seamlessly transitioned into a successful career as a brand designer, where his work harmoniously blends creative expression with strategic branding. Drawing inspiration from his Southern roots, his art and design reflect a nostalgic connection to the landscapes of his southeastern world, inviting viewers to share in the warmth and vibrancy that continue to shape his creative vision.
