Matthew: Matthew John Smith is an award-winning artist whose work is prized by collectors and has been displayed in numerous galleries. His art has graced the walls of the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts and the Atlanta High Museum of Art. He painted murals for some of Montgomery’s most notable nightclubs, including Stagger Lee’s, T.P. Crockmier’s and 1048. He has also worked with leading decorators and designers across the Southeast, and has conducted seminars teaching the techniques he’s developed over the years. Matthew went on to establish Renaissance Design, a business specializing in old world paint techniques, murals, and interior design. Examples of his painted furniture, art, and design can be found in residences and businesses in Montgomery, Lake Martin, Dothan, Gulf Shores, St Simon’s Island, Destin, Atlanta and Manhattan. "My goal as an artist is to do work that conveys my thoughts, as well, as my emotions. I believe that great art is more than a mixture of technique, color, and design. Great art has a perceptible spirit – a spirit transferred there by its creator which elevates the work, so when judged, it passes the ultimate test – the test of time.”
