Edgar Allan Toh was born in the Philippines and migrated to the US with his family as a child. As a young student, Edgar would sit in class doodling sketches of his chemistry teacher stuck inside a glass beaker. Edgar received a bachelor’s degree in biology and chemistry, while a college athlete. However, he continued his pursuit of art by painting wall murals and banners for his dormitory and campus events.

As fate would have it, Edgar broke his leg playing sports, so he focused on art as a way to fill his time. Edgar finds inspiration from things that make him smile. Whether it’s a young lady swinging on a donut or dancing with a gummy bear, his playful combination is reminiscent of the Pin-up girls from WWII posters.

Recently, Edgar expanded his body of work with bronze sculptures that add “life” to his subjects by making them 3D.
