Scott Matern was born and raised in New Jersey and lived most of his life there before moving to Pennsylvania about twenty years ago.  As a child, he always had a passion for drawing and painting.  During his teenage years, he became fascinated with motorcycles and enjoyed painting them.  Years later, Scott was drawn to fine art and began painting watercolors.  Due to the limited size of the paintings he could create, Scott moved on to another medium, oils.  “Now almost everything I do is in oil, and ever since, I’ve been able to develop a classic painting style.” [Read more...]
