Studio 180 Salon and Lucid Element Multimedia are proud to support our local arts community by serving as a host venue for the Cary Art Loop’s Final Friday events. On the final Friday of each month, we feature a local artist with a reception and cocktail from 6-9 pm. So, come join us the studio for great works, wine and hors de’ oeuvres and get in the Loop!
This month through December, we are pleased to show works by Matthew Mahler. A native of Louisiana, Matt holds a Bachelor of Science in Biological and Agricultural Engineering from Louisiana State University. He has attended various fine arts painting and sculpture courses since his first course with Mrs. Carolyn Pellegrin in 1994. He has studied painting at the Baton Rouge Academy of Art and the Arts Center in St. Petersburg, Florida. He has also studied sculpture in Pietrasanta, Italy with Artida Arts, Inc. and in Rutland, Vermont with the Vermont Carving Studio. His works are noted for the attention to detail and bold architectural and seascape images.
Through leisure traveling, Matt draws inspiration from traveling throughout southern Louisiana, southern Florida, and the Carolinas. Wide open spaces are what Matt looks for in a setting.
His works are found in homes, mainly in Houma, Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana, St. Petersburg, Florida, and Raleigh, North Carolina. Matt is married to Luisa Mahler and they have a son, Nicholas and a baby girl Emma. They reside in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Studio 180 Salon supports the 2009 Cary Art Loop. Matt’s works will be featured at our Final Friday show and reception on October 30th from 6 – 9pm.
