Matt Cegelis

Juried Artist Member since 2014

Hello, and thank you for your interest in my art!

I’m a retired corporate guy, liberated to focus on my artistic muse since 2010. I’ve been a self taught student of photography since 1965, and of digital art tools since 1993.

I work with cameras, software, dissolved inks, mixed media, found objects, ice, glass, reflections and visual distortion generators of all sorts in creating subject matter for my images. Incorporating new tools, techniques and approaches to my art making keeps the process fresh and exciting for me.

I like to think of my artwork as inviting you on journeys of serendipitous discovery, using your own vivid imagination as guide, as you begin to explore my abstract compositions.

My art is usually printed on Hahnemühle fine art watercolor papers, in Limited Edition signed/numbered offerings. Other print options, including canvas, acrylic, wood, metal, digital, and other fine art formats are available upon request.
