Todd Mayfield has built a long and versatile career in the visual arts. While his professional focus for more than 35 years has centered on commercial communications and design, his deepest creative passion has always been rooted in the fine arts.

 

For over two decades, Mayfield served as Principal and Creative Director of Avia Design Group, where he led projects in brand development, wayfinding systems, promotional media, and graphic design for clients throughout the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean. His work in design is recognized for its clarity, storytelling, and strong visual composition. ​​​​​

In 2024, Mayfield founded Ouray Studio, a Colorado-based creative boutique that reflects a new chapter in his artistic journey. Through this transition, he has increasingly focused on painting and writing while continuing to provide select design services.

 

As an artist, Mayfield works across a wide range of styles and mediums, though he is especially drawn to vivid acrylic painting influenced by the color and spirit of the American Southwest. His work emphasizes bold color, expressive movement, and a sense of place shaped by the landscapes of the West.

 

Over the years, Mayfield’s artwork has been exhibited in galleries throughout Colorado, Florida, Arizona, Hawaii, Chicago, and New York, reflecting a lifelong commitment to visual exploration and creative expression.
