Mattingly holds a BA in Philosophy from Columbia University and an MA in Painting from The Slade School of Fine Art. Her solo exhibitions include Haricot Gallery, Goldfinch Gallery, Arusha Gallery and Taymour Grahne Projects, with group exhibitions at Huxley Parlour, Sid Motion Gallery and Paul Smith Foundation.
