CREATIVES > TODD FLEET – Creature Of The Wheel

Todd “FLEET-O” Fleet has been a life long artist, creative and avid auto enthusiast and restorer. He has been creating private and commissioned artwork and tinkering with cars since he could hold a crayon and turn a wrench!

FLEET-O spent most of his early artistic career creating works and exhibitions for various regional and international automotive shows, clubs and clients. While still creating his art, he spent the majority of his career (18+ years) in the broader arts, culture and heritage sector as an exhibit designer/builder, museum curator and municipal arts and culture coordinator.

Artist’s Statement:

Lighting Fires, Burning Tires! “Creature of the Wheel” represents the renewal of my personal artistic and creative fires. My subject matter acts as a perfect metaphor and parallel to my own artistic journey. As many of the subjects featured in these works were once kaleidoscopic, brightly clad and powerful dream machines with the ability to create impactful, lasting life experiences and grant personal freedom to their owners; and which over time, as the necessities and pursuits of familiar lives grew these machines often found themselves shut away in the dark recesses of garages and barns, occasionally to be looked at with thoughts of “someday”. And like these long dormant avatars, to be later, rediscovered by their owners and resurrected, restored, modified by time and experience – better than new – to roll into the light once more!”
