Matt Tommey is an author, artist, entrepreneur, and mentor who is passionate about helping people live in the abundance of God’s Kingdom. Author of 7 books. He is also an art mentor for artists around the world through his "Created to Thrive" art mentoring program and The Thriving Christian Artist podcast.

In 2009, God called Matt to "raise up an army of artists to reveal His glory all over the earth." Since then, Matt has given his life to helping artists thrive spiritually, creatively and financially through creating live events, resources and online opportunities that equip artists to live the life they were divinely designed to live in the Kingdom.

As an artist, Matt's work has been featured in many magazines, shows and exhibitions and is mostly commissioned by private clients for luxury mountain and coastal homes around the country. In 2011, Matt was recognized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum's Renwick Gallery as an American Artist Under 40 and in 2018 was recognized as one of the Best Artist Mentors in the country by Professional Artist Magazine.

Through his personal growth journey and extensive work mentoring artists, Matt learned how to make Kingdom principles easy to understand and apply to everyday life so anyone can experience abundant life in Christ. He currently lives in East Texas with his wife, Tanya, and their son, Cameron, where he enjoys friends and family, gardening, and creating art.
