JOHN TODD PARTRIDGE

Todd is a native Texan who was born in College Station in 1967 where his parents were a college professor and a creative homemaker and florist.  His formative years were in the river-walk city of San Antonio, Texas, but he returned to College Station to earn a degree in International Marketing from Texas A&M University.  Having called Houston home since 1993, he  and his life partner own and operate an award-winning real estate company and an award-winning bed and breakfast in the Montrose & Museum district.

 Todd’s creative spirit began at an early age with elaborate 3-dimensional projects in Legos and Lincoln Logs. This eventually turned into intricate scale models in balsa wood of mansions that any aspiring architect would be proud to claim as their own. While still in high school he traveled to Japan as an exchange student for a year where he lived with 3 host families in the Osaka region.   Not only did he become fluent in the Japanese language, but he also mastered two of their calligraphy alphabets and was known by his instructors to write the third alphabet, Kanji, an art form in and of itself, more exquisitely than some of the Japanese themselves.

Todd continued expressing himself 3-dimensionally while in college by creating spectacular one-of-a-kind aquariums that were exhibited in local restaurants and stores. After graduation his aquariums were sold and displayed in high-rise office buildings and bank lobbies.

In his professional career in real estate he has helped numerous developers and homeowners design high-end residential projects, from the floor plan to the furnishings. During his career as a real estate broker and innkeeper, Todd began to express himself 2-dimensionally, through painting.   He is flourishing as he expands his unique talent by experimenting with materials and textures on his own as well as mentoring with and learning from other recognized artists.
