Mattusch graduated from Bryn Mawr College with a bachelor's degree in 1969. She then obtained her doctorate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1975.
Most of Mattusch's career is connected with George Mason University, where she taught since 1977, first as an assistant professor, then as an associate professor and since 1990, as a professor of art and history, specializing particularly in courses on Greek and Roman art and archaeology and the rediscovery of classical antiquity. From 1982 to 1992, she also held the position of a department head.
During her long teaching career, Mattusch also worked as a visiting professor at Yale University, Harvard University, Oberlin College, Bryn Mawr College, Smith College, and the University of Iowa.
Mattusch is best known as the principal author and editor of Pompeii and the Roman Villa: Art and Culture around the Bay of Naples (2008). Mattusch was also the curator of The Fire of Hephaistos: Large Classical Bronzes from North American Collections (1996) at Harvard University Art Museums for which she wrote the catalogue. Her other books include The Villa dei Papiri at Herculaneum: Life and Afterlife of a Sculpture Collection (2005); The Victorious Youth (1997); Classical Bronzes: The Art and Craft of Greek and Roman Statuary (1996); Greek Bronze Statuary: From the Beginnings through the Fifth Century B.C. (1988); and Bronzeworkers in the Athenian Agora (1982).
Mattusch has also written chapters for The Handbook of Engineering and Technology in the Classical World (2008), The Art of Antiquity: Piet de Jong and the Athenian Agora (2007), Greek Sculpture, Function, Materials and Techniques in the Archaic and Classical Periods (2005), and she has written articles for Hesperia, Art Journal, American Journal of Archaeology, and Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Studies.
