The oldest son of famed Navajo artist Beatien Yazz, Irving Toddy attended Utah State University where he studied painting and illustration. He and several other Navajo painters became known as the "Gallup Realists." Because his work is so realistic, it is greatly different from traditional Navajo painting.

Toddy's favorite subject matter is the Navajo people and their environment, done in a realistic style.  He believes that the essence of an exceptional painting is a good drawing and he feels it is his drawing ability that has helped him develop his unique style.
