About The Artist

Matthew Crane is a multidisciplinary artist from the beautiful Pacific Northwest. With a background in makeup artistry, massage therapy, and the performing arts - he creates vibrant, emotionally layered paintings that explore healing, energy, and the soul's quiet transformation.

"For me, art is an exploration of my own inner depths.  My artwork has helped me to work through personal trauma and explore what is truest for me in life.  My painting are full of healing intentions.  Each layer of paint adds a layer of depth and emotion to the final soul of the painting.  I love watching a painting shift and mold itself into the spirit it was meant to become.  I layer sheer acrylics, acrylic pens, and oil paints to create works that are rich in character and speak to the soul of the viewer.  My hope is to help people look deeper within themselves through my artwork, allowing them to heal on new subtle levels.  I utilize golden proportions and infusions of healing energy in each piece to help the viewer realign the energetic fields of their body as they take in the work.

My color pallet is inspired by the vibrant colors of the northwest, the seasonal changes, and the energy I see swirling around us.
