Born Melbourne, Australia, 1950
After teaching art for 13 years, in 1984 Geoff traveled across Australia to the Northern Territory. Geoff worked in Arnhemland for more than two years and while the experience caused a new direction in his painting, it also stimulated the desire in him to experience and observe other cultures away from Australia.
In 1987, he relocated from Maningrida to Batchelor where he was the Art Lecturer at Batchelor College and in 1989 moved to Darwin and lectured in Sculpture and Drawing at the Northern Territory University.
During his time in the Top End, the proximity of Indonesia beckoned and became a new haunt for Geoff and his family. There he found a people committed to life, religion, festival and art, an ideal environment for an artist who has always used the human form as an integral and inspirational role in his work.
The work Geoff completed in Indonesia attracted much interest and has been purchased by numerous collectors throughout Australia and Indonesia. In Indonesia, his work is featured in the Duta Art Foundation, Jakarta; the Rudana Museum, Bali; the Museum Diponegoro, Tegairejo, Yogyakarta; and Museum Diponegoro, Magelang, Java.
In 1999, Geoff held an exhibition at the Benteng Vredeberg (Dutch Fort) in Yogyakarta, which was opened by Prince Prabukusomo of the Yogyakarta Kraton. The response to his exhibition resulted in articles appearing in The Bulletin (Australia) and Indonesian newspapers such as the Jakarta Post, Kedaulatan Rakyata, Suara Merdeka, Yogya Post, Bernas and a cover story in the publication Mistik, all acclaiming his work and establishing him as a respected artist within Indonesia.
Geoff continues to frequently travel to overseas destinations, to pursue opportunities to find time and space to work and exhibit with renewed inspiration.
Overseas, his work has been included in contemporary art exhibitions across the United States, Austria, Hong Kong, Italy and Indonesia. In private collections his work is held by well-known identities within Australia and celebrities such as William Shatner of Star Trek fame.
In Australia he is represented in the public collections of the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra, the National Gallery of Victoria and the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory as well as many regional institutions.

'It's Todd's sense of humanity that makes his work that of the compassionate observer, but he also has a commitment to form that prevents visual cliches from pervading his work.'
