Matt Patterson is an award-winning professional illustrator and designer who lives and paints in his studio in beautiful southern New Hampshire.

    Matt remembers drawing and painting from a very young age, when he was fascinated with wildlife, and much of his work today reflects his early interest in painting the natural world.

    The artist has a degree in studio art and also graduated with a professional certificate from the prestigious Art Institute of Boston in 2006.

    He has worked both as a freelance illustrator and as a staff artist creating decorative illustration, and has extensive experience in designing a wide variety of commercial and retail products. The artist has also exhibited his work in a number of fine art galleries and has been honored to have paintings in the permanent collections of two museums.

    Matt Patterson works in both traditional and digital media, and has completed a diverse collection of artwork ranging from scientific and book illustration to trompe l'oeil murals.

    His most recent book, Freshwater Fish of the Northeast, recently won the Design and Artistic Merit Category of the 2010 National Outdoor Book Awards (NOBA).
