GREG TODD
Sculptor Greg Todd was born and raised in
Goodland, Kansas, and from early on has been involved in some
form of artistic endeavor. After majoring in art and receiving his degree
from the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma, he taught high school
art and began his own personal career as an artist. Initially, Greg worked
both in painting and sculpting; however, he soon found he could capture his
ideas best by casting bronze using the centuries-old lost wax method.
Therefore he has since focused in this medium.
Greg has gained national
recognition through galleries and art shows depicting a variety of subject
matter including wildlife and human figures. In God’s creation-the world
around us-Greg finds an infinite supply of subject matters.
“People always want to know
where I get my inspiration,” he says. “I draw my ideas from my personal
experiences and interests.” And Greg has a wide range of interests which
include the out doors and nature, as well as family. Wife Cheryl and two
sons, Jonathan and Jeremy, have provided subject matter for Greg’s creations
over the years.
Greg has his art sculptures
displayed both nationally and internationally, with permanent public
installations in Colorado, Kansas, Illinois, Nebraska and
Florida. His sculptures have been included in New York’s prestigious Allied
Artists of American’s annual exhibit. The list of galleries that show Greg’s
work as well as those who have purchased his sculptures reads like a Who’s
Who. Public pieces that have been installed include a larger-than-life
Veteran’s Memorial in Monmouth, Illinois, several pieces for the Moose Lodge
International in Mooseheart, Illinois, a life-size piece at the United
States Air Force Academy, and a life-size “More Than Words” at Focus on the
Family in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
