Todd Stone has been exhibiting throughout the United States and Europe since 1974. His paintings of watery surfaces evolved out of a change of direction in his work that occurred in the mid-1990s while traveling the eastern seaboard. He now works directly from nature in the traditional genre of landscape painting, but with the experience of twenty years in the studio making abstractions. Stone has allowed his art to become freer, more spontaneous, and open to the surrounding world. In the last decade, he has painted the Adirondack Mountains, Delaware and Hudson River Valleys, Florida Keys, and New York City skyline.
Todd Stone lived in Rome and the province of Umbria during the early 1980s. Upon his return to the United States, he and his wife Lori commenced their search for a home to remind them of living in the rolling Italian countryside. They found it in Kintnersville, Pennsylvania. The artist's gardens were the subject of his early Pennsylvania landscapes. His more recent work is from the surrounding countryside of Upper Bucks County and the Delaware River, near Kintnersville.
