About Matthew
Born and raised in Southern California, I’m an oil painter, former United States Marine, and the creator of Oasis Ranch.
After a lifetime of adventures—from commercial fishing, carpentry, and digital advertising to serving in the Marine Corps and working in finance—I realized my true calling was creating things that inspire people.
Today, I dedicate my life to painting meaningful artwork and transforming Oasis Ranch into a one-of-a-kind desert retreat, both built with the belief that beauty, craftsmanship, faith, and service can leave a lasting impact for generations to come.

Oasis Ranch
Oasis Ranch is a five-acre artist homestead located in Wonder Valley, California, just outside Joshua Tree National Park. It is where I live, create, restore, build, and dream. Many of the paintings on this site were conceived and created here, inspired by the beauty and solitude of the Mojave Desert.
