Matt Higgins is a Professor of Art & Design. While he’s not teaching college students, you can find him in his studio, translating his thoughts and feelings into beautiful works of art.
In this unique episode of @peopletalkingsittingdown, Matt joins us to discuss his craft, and how it has been an outlet for him while maintaining his sobriety after struggling with addiction issues at a young age.
We cover a wide range of topics including his recovery journey, dealing with anger, insecurities as a teen, the Mona Lisa, skilled artists of the next generation, the technical side of painting, the importance of support from his wife and family, and much more.
Matt even brought along two of his paintings to deep dive into the backstory of how they came to be, and the messages they convey.
