Todd Tibbals

A Columbus Ohio product, born in 1939, Todd spent five and a half years in the Peace Corps (mostly in Peru and Ecuador) in the 1960's. He carted his Master's Degree (in Latin American History) and Corcoran School of Art stint to Albuquerque in 1970, where he's been a full time artist and sometimes teacher since. You wouldn't say he has an easily-recognizable style in his paintings, but rather an eclectic, Renaissance approach. He considers himself a shapemaker (with a heavy dose of light to dark emphasis), rather than a fancy brush technician . Away from the easel, Todd is prone to wrapping his hands around a classical guitar or piano. And he's no stranger to the engaging N. M. wilderness areas. He has garnered sundry painting awards, articles, etc; with exhibits from New Mexico, to old Mexico, to Ohio and Italy. Married to Andrea Escher.
