Jack was born and raised in Cornwall, a region renowned for its rugged beauty and timeless charm. Deeply rooted in the natural environment that surrounded him, Jack's artistic vision is profoundly shaped by the landscapes and seascapes of his childhood. His work masterfully captures the natural light and breathtaking allure of the Cornish coastline, creating fine art images that are as powerful as they are evocative.

Beyond his love for the sea, Jack's portfolio also explores hidden coves, rolling countryside, and the vibrant life that thrives in this world. Jack masterfully creates a profound connection between the viewer and the land he calls home.

"There is haunting beauty in each of his photos he captures not only the raw essence of the landscape, but the rich cultural history many of these sites are intwined within. Devoid of humanity in the majority of his natural work, Matthews offers a a glimpse into a world untainted by modernity. Beaty is a perhaps a granted term within each of his pieces; but elegance, rugged mastery is not. The shots encapsulate a landscape, but are poised before a moment of radical change. He preserves the Cornish countryside in a way it should be remembered."
