From Administrator to Artist: Works by Matthew Hymel

March 7, 2024 — April 26, 2024
Civic Center Galleries

I have spent much of my professional life dealing with the concrete nature of balancing budgets and competing priorities. Art has always provided a more subjective refuge, a place to refresh and nurture my creative side. Letting the canvas evolve freely on its own, many of my works explore color, and how it can evoke different emotions and moods. Often, I paint abstract compositions in search of color harmony and balance.

I appreciate the opportunity to share my work. Half of the proceeds will be donated to Homeward Bound of Marin.


Marin County Civic Center 1st and 3rd floor galleries are located at 3501 Civic Center Drive, San Rafael. Open M-F from 8am to 5pm. Closed weekends.
