Matchi, an Austin, Texas artist, combines the influences of her German upbringing in her hometown of Bogalusa, Louisiana with the colorful Mardi Gras spirit of nearby New Orleans. This paradox coalesced within her to produce a body of work which combine into a mixture of German expression with a burst of Warhol-like vividness and color.

Matchi has studied at the University of Texas at Austin, from which she received her BFA, Long Island University in Southampton and the University of Virginia.

Her vibrant, color-infused paintings are included in public and private collections around the country.
