The Mattie King Davis Art Gallery is excited to welcome artist Garland Mattox in February 2025. A free show will be held at the gallery in conjunction with the Valentine Membership Party on Sunday, February 9 from 2 – 4 p.m. Garland will be the featured artist for the months of February and March.
Born in New Iberia, LA and raised in Wilson, NC, Garland Mattox attended Salem College and graduated from Newcomb College of Tulane University with a BA in drawing and painting. After living in New Orleans and Redondo Beach, CA , Garland and her husband settled in Greenville, SC and raised their family. In 2023, we relocated to Beaufort, NC as they fell in love with the charming town they long visited as a summer home.
Garland is an artist who also enjoys collecting. Garland’s works range from tablescapes and landscapes to scenes with animals and lovely variations of florals. Some pieces have a surrealist inspiration in layout and subject matter as well as many pieces featuring bright and exciting colorways. Her mediums also have a vast range, diversifying her style amongst subjects, ranging from mixed media, to acrylic and ink on canvas, to oil paints.
Garland has a working studio on Arendell Avenue in Morehead City at Salt Studios, which also carries her work at their sister gallery, Salt Gallery. Salt, at 1512 Arendell in also in Morehead City.
