Todd Whisson is a successful Australian Modern Impressionist Artist whose work is uninhibited yet connected, which has emerged from his passion for plein air and alla prima painting.

In 2011 Whisson embarked on a tertiary education into contemporary art through TAFE Qld. Whisson was awarded the highest achievement of acquisition prize, for his first and second-year series “Hidden Secrets” and “Scar Tissue” whilst completing his diploma of Visual Arts.

Continuing his education, Todd completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2015 through QCA (Griffith University), achieving academic excellence along the way. In addition, Whisson was individually selected by Brisbane City Council to showcase his work as a representative of QCA graduates in painting.

Whisson’s recent work has developed markedly, taking an abstract approach which continues to reflect his skill in traditional techniques yet has enabled him to communicate more than a visual representation and has elevated his passion and vision to another level of skill and perception.

Whisson’s work is represented in galleries, private and corporate collections in Australia and internationally.
