Wonderful work Todd. I watched a video of your work and was moved. Noel Webb
Dear Mr Todd Siler,
I have recently found out that you have received the 2011 da Vinci art world award.
I was very much impressed when I watched the lecture you gave concerning your art.
I want to tell you here, that I have been following your artistic path since many years now and also confess that I’m very found of your works. I have always hoped that you would reach some such peaks.
What a great artist we have with you!
Thank you for all the new perspectives you have revealed with the connections between art and science.
Best regards. P
