With a Bachelor’s in Psychology and Pharmacology from The Ohio State University, his artwork lives in the genre of experimental abstraction, often utilizing materials that are unexpected including found media, extinct, expired or time based materials to consider their function in society. Todd's visual art theories extend into his fictional writing, examining greater social and gender roles often with a poetic and spiraling psychological twist.
