Andrew Todd was born and schooled in Kingston upon Hull, East Yorkshire. Moving to the opposite coast to study Graphic Design at Liverpool Central College of Printing, Design and Photography. He then travelled south to begin his creative career, working as a graphic designer, initially in West Sussex, before moving to London to begin a long career as art director and creative problem solver at some of London’s leading creative agencies. He has won awards for his creative work across all media channels, both nationally and internationally.  A Whitstable resident of 25 years, Andy’s wife, Sarah, is a ‘Whitstable native’.

Throughout his time working in creative agencies Andrew has always been drawing, sketching and making his own art. In recent years he has been working with water colour and acrylic paints. His paintings often use energetic and intense colour combinations, reoccurring themes include documenting our everyday surroundings and the challenges we face collectively and as individual human beings. Our struggle to understand the world around us and find moments of peace and reflection amongst the pressures of navigating these chaotic and overwhelming times. “Throughout my work I strive to create a space for kindness, reflection and hope.”
