      Matthew Harwood is a watercolorist whose work reflects his interest in the relationship between architecture, nature, and light. Harwood was trained as an architect, then turned his attention to painting and travel where he finds most of his inspiration. His work consists of landscape watercolors and three dimensional watercolor assemblages. The Washington Post writes that his work "...captures the interplay of blinding light and deep shadow so typical of summer in the Mediterranean countries." Mark Leithauser, Chief of Design of the National Gallery of Art, said "Harwood’s artistry springs from a tradition of architect transformed to painter. His work has a strong perspective and cleanness of line … what makes his work exciting is the highly inventive sculptural approach he takes with his presentation."
      Harwood's paintings have been shown in numerous solo and group shows in museums, galleries, and special exhibitions. In 1997, he won the Torpedo Factory Artist of the Year Award. His works hang in many private and corporate collections. He has maintained a studio at the Torpedo Factory Art Center since 1984 and can be reached there most days.
