MY PRACTICE
Established in 2011, my practice quietly authors original works and studio editions for private collectors, creative direction for brands, and private experiences in Florence. Rooted in observation, I primarily reduce architecture, objects and automobili to hand-drawn essential lines, colour and form.
Developed through a longstanding engagement with Italy, my work moves between drawing, painting and collectible objects, with each piece retaining the immediacy of the artist's hand.

YOU, ME, FLORENCE.
Let me show you the Florence I love. This is not a tour. There is no fixed itinerary, this is a Private Experience.
Come and join me, and create a memory with a private day or two spent exploring Florence through observation, conversation, great food and the places that have become part of my relationship with the city.
TEDDY McDONALD • THE MAN BEHIND THE LINE
I have spent the past fifteen years developing a practice shaped by curiosity, observation and a belief in the power of essential lines.
My work has taken me into unexpected places — shaped by an enduring connection to Italy that runs through everything I draw, paint and design, and by recognition that has come to the practice along the way.
