Matthew Peck, (Matthew Scott Peck) is the owner of the Matthew Peck Studio and Gallery at 922 Royal Street, New Orleans Louisiana 70130. Matthew has been painting since his childhood in rural Oregon. He moved to New Orleans in 1996 and began his career as a simple street artist in Jackson Square. In 2005 Hurricane Katrina forced him to seek refuge in Houston Texas. He was one of the first artists to come back to the French Quarter after Katrina. During the months following the storm of 2005 he drew inspiration from the city and began painting classic scenes from in and around New Orleans. In the years that followed Peck has gained in popularity. Almost every home in Uptown New Olreans owns a Matthew Peck. Peck’s classic New Orleans Street scenes dance with light and color on a variety of canvas sizes from small to large scale. In 2009 he was commission to paint a ten foot by ten foot painting of Frenchmen Street during Jazz Fest. That work is still in progress.
