About
I’m Harry Matthews, a multidisciplinary artist, writer, and poet with a Master of Arts in Writing. My work spans the intersections of nature, spirituality, identity, and neurodiversity, drawing deeply from personal experiences and the natural world to create meaningful stories and artworks. As a neurodivergent creator (AuDHD), I bring fresh, emotionally authentic perspectives that resonate with audiences.
I began my career in journalism, initially training after university and later working as an arts writer for the Amsterdam Weekly (2004), covering cultural topics. Some of my early writing has been self-published and featured in a couple of international magazines as well as local community radio, including works like Idylls of the Nympahi, A Whimsical Journey Through India (2021) and Sonnets to Amsterdam (2024). As a visual artist, my exhibitions include MerzSHED II (Merzman, 2011), Wabi-Sabi Paintings (Brantwood, 2015), and Oils & Watercolours (Festival Drayton Centre, 2018).
As a doctoral researcher in English Literature, I’ve presented my research internationally, with a paper at Sapienza University in Rome (2023).
