Todd Hale is a mixed media artist and photographer based in Nags Head NC and Richmond VA. Since 1996 he has lived part of the year on the Outer Banks working as a portrait photographer while finding inspiration in the ocean and developing his art. In the off-season he is part of the vibrant art community in Richmond where he runs a working studio and gallery called Antennae. The gallery is host to solo and group shows and is part of the First Friday Art Walk in the Historic Arts District downtown. In 2003, Hale was among the founding group of artists and galleries that established a presence in downtown Richmond, leading to its eventual designation as a nationally recognized arts district.
In his work, Hale employs a vast array of methods and media including drawing, painting, sculpture, collage, and photography. Recurring motifs and themes include forms and patterns which reference natural and mystical phenomenon.
