Original Oil Paintings and Fine Art Prints by New Orleans artist Joshua Matherne...
New Orleans artist Joshua Matherne's unique perspective of life through his art. I have always been inspired by the rich musical and artistic expression that flows through the streets of New Orleans. As a result, I was drawn to combine music with art. Whether the subject is musical in nature, the flow of the piece reflects a certain vibe or the characters have a "jazzy" feel, you can be sure that I was, in some way, inspired by music.
Bold colors, fluid movement and whimsical interpretations are the most suitable identifiers of my work. I create what I "feel," which keeps my subject matter in a state of constant (r)evolution. However, there is usually a common, underlying motivation amongst the pieces: to create "feel-good" art that offers a break from reality and hints at the power of our imagination.
In addition to my musical influence, my love of animals has led me to develop whimsical interpretations of many of our pet friends. With each of these, I strive to capture the true essence of personality that lives within. In return for the inspiration that these wonderful animals provide, I have made a personal commitment to use my art to aid those animals in need.
A few of my paintings are currently on display at Ambiance Custom Framing and Gallery in Luling, Louisiana. Please call or visit the gallery for more information: 985-308-0256. Please feel free to browse the site and enjoy the paintings. If you have any questions or comments, please email us at
