Hi there, I'm Mat Edwards, a digital artist from the picturesque "Potteries" in Stoke on Trent. With a knack for realistic art and a versatility that spans various styles, I draw inspiration from the rich history around me. Trained by skilled artisans from the pottery industry, I infuse my work with a touch of classic matte artistry reminiscent of the cinematic wonders from the '80s and '90s. When I'm not immersed in medieval history or crafting captivating sci-fi and fantasy pieces, you'll find me exploring the countryside, especially during the vibrant hues of autumn.
Having never sought awards, my true joy lies in the privilege of being able to create art for a living. My portfolio boasts a diverse range of projects, from local pub murals that have graced newspapers to the intricate artwork for Gibsons' board game, Kingmaker. Renowned for my ease of collaboration, I take pride in seamlessly translating clients' visions into compelling visuals while sprinkling in my own innovative flair. With a solid foundation in art education and a wealth of experience in the ceramic industry, my expertise extends across various mediums and styles, making me a go-to choice for many returning clients.
My artistic journey has been shaped by legendary figures like Chris Foss, Tim White, and Rodney Matthews, whose works fueled my passion for fantasy and sci-fi art. When I'm not engrossed in creating captivating illustrations, I unwind with a leisurely country stroll or delve into the pages of a gripping history or fantasy novel. Balancing work commitments with cherished family time, including bonding with my granddaughter and our beloved German pointer, Watson, I strive to be not just a skilled artist but also a reliable and enjoyable collaborator in every project I undertake.
