has spent a lifetime surrounded by beauty.  From his birthplace in the quaint historic town of Harrodsburg, Kentucky, to the rolling hills, regal horse farms and white plank fences of Lexington, where he was raised; he could always see character in the people and places around him.  It was this simple, natural beauty, and the desire to capture it on paper that first inspired him to become an artist.

Many people recognized Todd’s talent for drawing at a very early age.  They were amazed at the untrained gift of the young artist.  But as he grew older, the dream of sustaining a living as an artist waned with the growing responsibility of becoming a husband and father.  So, taking the road many others have traveled, he joined Corporate America.  While financial and professional success followed, an unfulfilled yearning to draw and paint was always present.  This artistic yearning finally became strong enough that he left the security of Corporate America to return to his true passion – taking a blank piece of paper and transforming it into something alive and beautiful.

Today, he works to share that passion with you.  Todd has the innate gift of seeing the completed painting even before beginning and enjoys taking people along for the journey.  Images of family, home, and memories of the past are evident in his work as he captures on paper those intangible qualities of his subjects.  He has a way of connecting with his subjects that gives us the feeling we intimately know them.  Maybe it’s remembering your grandmother’s eyes as she played the piano, or the excitement of scampering across that covered bridge as a child.  Simply put, he sees people doing what they enjoy best – experiencing life’s simple and treasured pleasures.

L. Todd Hurst invites you to join him on this uncharted journey as he articulates with his art, those special moments, never to be forgotten, cherished forever.
