Todd Sanders

About me:

A self taught Christian Pop artist, started painting in 1997 realizing the passion God has given to him for expressing himself through fine art. He has always had quite an imagination since childhood. In his late 20’s, with his keen sense of creativity, he attended the art institute of Seattle earning an associates degree in the field of culinary arts. He stretches his creativity from the kitchen cutting boards and on to the canvases that sits on his easels. His paintings carry the innocence of childhood. Painting with bright colors and bold lines, you can meet Todd through his paintings. You will see the colorful playful side of Todd and yet also discover his authentic boldness. With inspiration from artist such Matisse, Keith Haring, and David Hockney, Todd continues to create and expand the ideas of “pop” art. Each painting provides a small glimpse into Todd’s life. His paintings will be of a fading memory or something he has seen or experienced. The constant theme of the faceless people allows you to focus in on the action of the person and what the person is doing, not who the person is. The contents of his paintings range from his beliefs in the Bible and Jesus Christ, the 80’s era, to a motorcycle accident that changed his perspective on life, to the environment and other social issues. His paintings are usually of a person, place or event that has become a stepping stone in this journey called life. Each painting provides a small glimpse into his life.
