After earning a BFA from the Savannah College of Art and
Design in 1992, J. Todd Greene returned to Nashville where
he has worked as a full-time artist. His introspective work
speaks of paradox and spirituality, using acrylics, oils, mixed
media, sculpture and constructions.
With seven pieces in the Tennessee State Museum’s permanent
collection, Greene was named one of Tennessee’s Best
Artists, winning a purchase award in 2001. His work has also
appeared in Time magazine. In April 2004, he received an
artist’s residency fellowship at the Virginia Center for the
Creative Arts (VCCA). He has been featured in many publications
such as The Tennessean, The Nashville Scene and Nfocus.
For his Flying Solo exhibition, Todd will paint a 20’ x 14’ mural
directly on the wall at the Airport.

Artist's Statement
“The images in this mural are based on my great-grandfather’s
sermon cards. I knew him as Paw Paw and he preached in
small Southern towns for most of his life. He never properly
learned to read, so he would sketch out Biblical passages
onto 4” x 6” index cards, which he secretly referred to while preaching. There are nearly 400 sermon cards in existence
and more than 250 paintings based on this series.”
