“Your gift impacts on people, not only because your paintings look beautiful, but because they make us feel”

Hayley Matthews Art
Hello and welcome to my website.
My name is Hayley Matthews, I am a self taught Scottish artist, working from my home Studio Gallery in Kirkcaldy, Fife.
My artwork is inspired by dramatic, beautiful landscapes that leave a lasting impression.  Through my art I am inspired to transform the ordinary into something truly special, capturing atmosphere, emotion and a strong sense of place. Â
Vibrant colour sits at the heart of my paintings drawing the viewer into each scene and forging a strong emotional connection.  Complementing the bold colourful artwork, I also enjoy creating dramatic, ethereal forest scenes that are deeply atmospheric and cativating.Â
I primarily work with acrylics valuing their versatility and expressive qualities, while being eager to explore additional mediums as my practice evolves.
I am deeply passionate about my artwork and my style is constantly developing. As an artist, I find this very exciting.  I consider myself very fortunate to have the freedom to create on a daily basis and I am sincerely grateful for the continued support of those who engage with and collect my work.
I have recently introduced ‘Paint & Sip’ events in Fife, more fun art, not fine art, where you can relax, unwind and create!  Perfect for private events, birthdays, a day out with friends or just some time alone.  You’ll find more information on the ‘Paint & Sip’ events in Fife by clicking the tab above.
