I am Dale Matthews, an artist passionate about bringing stories to life through oil painting, blending realism with contemporary flair. My journey began at Castle Fine Art, where I worked as an art consultant and gained first hand insight into the world of high end artwork. Surrounded by remarkable pieces from artists such as Bob Dylan, Johnny Depp and Andy Warhol, I discovered how the right frame can completely transform a piece of art, giving it presence, depth and character. That experience shaped my belief that framing is an art in itself.

In recent years i have been working with Elephant Timber Supplies this has further expanded my expertise, allowing me to combine fine art with exceptional timber craftsmanship. Their team are incredibly gifted woodworkers, known for producing beautiful resin river tables, live edge tops and bespoke desks that celebrate the natural beauty of timber. Being close to that level of craftsmanship has deepened my appreciation for materials and detail, and how thoughtful design can turn functional pieces into statement features.

From bespoke frames to mirrors and custom interior pieces, I provide tailored solutions that enhance both the artwork and the space it inhabits. A carefully crafted frame does more than hold a picture. It elevates the artwork, complements the room and brings a sense of balance and presence to the environment around it.

With years of experience as both an artist and a consultant, I take pride in guiding clients through every step of the creative process, ensuring each piece, frame or décor element is crafted to the highest standard. My goal is simple: to create work that captivates, inspires and elevates any environment.
