Matthew Harwood's artwork is inspired by the production and presentation skills he learned as a young architect in the 1970s and 80s. With today's architects ever widening dependence on computer aided design and modeling programs, the old ways are employed by an ever dwindling few. The pre-AutoCAD design and hand skills are not only kept alive in Harwood's art, but combined in surprising new ways, resulting in innovative multi-dimensional paintings and drawings.

Harwood graduated with honors from the Virginia Tech School of Architecture + Design but soon abandoned his career in architecture for one in art after being juried into the Torpedo Factory Art Center the same year. His award winning artwork is included in many private and corporate collections; and has been shown in solo and group shows in museums, galleries and special exhibitions.

Recently Harwood was recognized as a 2009 Artist of the Year Award finalist by the Friends of the Torpedo Factory Art Center. He received Honorable Mention in Technical Excellence.
