Matt Pooley is a landscape artist based in Meltham, West Yorkshire, creating paintings inspired by the dramatic and ever-changing landscapes of the British countryside. Originally from Plymouth, Devon, he studied 3D Design in Preston before settling on the edge of the Peak District, where the surrounding moorland and valleys continue to influence his work.

Working in acrylic, oil, watercolour and fine-line ink, Matt captures the atmosphere, light and mood of the places he explores. His paintings often begin with walks through remote landscapes, seeking out those fleeting moments when sunlight breaks through cloud or mist drifts across the hills.

Inspired by the Yorkshire moors and the Lake District, his work combines observation with a more expressive approach, using bold mark-making and rich colour to evoke a strong sense of place.

Matt’s work is available as original paintings and limited edition giclée prints, and he also welcomes commission enquiries.
