Matthew Anderson is an abstract landscape photographer based in San Luis Obispo, California. Deeply influenced by his passion for surfing and exploration, his work centers on the ocean and the natural environments that shape the Central Coast. Through a refined focus on composition, texture, and atmospheric detail, Anderson creates imagery that blurs the line between observation and abstraction. His photographs invite viewers into a state of curiosity and contemplation, encouraging a renewed sense of connection with the natural world.
David Massey is a multidisciplinary artist known for his expressive interpretations of the natural world. His artistic path began with fine art photography in the early 1980’s, where he developed a keen eye for composition, values, and texture, capturing landscapes and architectural subjects on black and white film. This foundation laid the groundwork for his transition into painting, where he now works primarily in watercolor and oils. Drawing inspiration from his photographic archive, David creates works that balance realism with abstraction, often highlighting the emotional resonance of place and memory. His art reflects his deep appreciation for nature’s complexity and design. David has exhibited his work at numerous art festivals and group shows, and continues to grow his presence through galleries and online platforms.
