Todd Lehman grew up in Millersburg, Pennsylvania, before settling in New York City. He completed an undergraduate degree in journalism at Oklahoma State University and attended graduate school at Pennsylvania State University. He studied painting and drawing at the Art Students League in New York City under Edward Lanning, eventually becoming Mr.Lanning’s teaching assistant. He also attended Pratt Institute and the Pratt Graphics Center.
Lehman’s work has been exhibited in many galleries in New York City, as well as those in Munich, Washington, DC, Toronto, and Italy. His painting style progressed from representational and figurative work, through Turneresque landscapes and abstract expressionism before arriving at his own definitive architectural style. His work is highly influenced by music—particularly classical and jazz—poetry, and modern dance. Travel, and particularly his extended stays in Sicily, also informed his work.
