Matthew cut his printing teeth in a tiny Manchester studio in the late seventies making fly-posters for The Fall, The Blue Orchids, the Factory club and The Hacienda. Later he moved down south to work for Autotype, researching advanced screen printing methods and training printers from all over the world.

In the nineties he moved into fine art screen printing at London Contemporary Art and Coriander Studios where, under the guidance of Brad Faine, he editioned for Peter Blake, Bruce Mclean, Ivor Abrahams, Rachel Whiteread and many other great artists. From 2008 - 2017 Matthew was Master Printer at Jealous. He now runs M.A.R.S screenprinting developing his own work alongside working with established artists.

Also a qualified teacher, Matthew worked in Malawi for a number of years training teachers, printing and touring with an international theatre company.
