SUMMARY:Matt Lively: Free Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free lecture from accomplished Virginia artist Matt Lively! Light refreshments available\n\nThe Melissa Darden Odom Speaker Series Memorial Fund along with the Suffolk Art League provides lectures to the residents of Suffolk and beyond at no cost as part of our community outreach and dedication to arts education. Some of our programs are organized in collaboration with, but not limited to, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and is supported in part by their Paul Mellon Endowment and the Jean Stafford Camp Memorial Fund.\n\nArtist Bio:I am an artist living in Richmond, Virginia. I am a sculptor, painter, and muralist; I have designed installations, worked on films, and illustrated books. I try to let my work be defined more by an openness to new ideas and opportunities than by working solely in one particular medium. My success over 25 years is a result of learning through mistakes combined with the collective wisdom of others. Collaborating with other passionate people always presents new avenues to explore that I would never be able to experience working on my own.\nMy studio is a 130-year-old barn that keeps me close to my family. A lot of things get made in the barn, and some of it gets shown nationally and internationally. When not in the studio, I teach at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Studio School. It’s because of all the people who took a minute to help me that I’m able to do this today. Most of what I’ve learned has been borrowed, so I do what I can to pass it on. I make images that suggest a story without a beginning or end. Learning to stop before the piece reveals too much is the most delicate aspect of my process.\n
