Matthew Perez

Born and raised next to New Jersey shore, Matthew Perez cannot recall a time in his life when he didn’t love art, including painting and drawing. Matthew finished his schooling after moving with his family to Georgia. It was in the Peach State that Matthew first connected with a group of highly talented artists.

Together, this group of artisans enrolled at the Art Institute of Atlanta. While at the Art Institute, Matthew focused on media arts and animation. He had the opportunity to experiment with other art forms while a student, a process he continues exploring today. He likes making art while listening to music and he also plays the drums.

Matthew and his wife Michelle have been married for nine years. They currently reside in Mexico with their cat, Snow, and dog. Gus. They decided to venture to Mexico to experience a different lifestyle. He is enthusiastic about creating instructional videos for the students and teachers of Paint with Me.
