Tega Cay artist, Todd Baxter, loves to draw the world around him as he sees it. Baxter’s works are filled with iconic locations, idyllic spots along rivers and lakes, landscapes featuring subjects in decay, yet are still full of life, and moments often taken for granted, many forgotten as quickly as they passed. He also turns his focus to people around him, providing studies of personal moments captured while vacationing, and portraits capturing his subjects’ beauty and grace.

Baxter is one of those artists who knew what he wanted to do from a very early age. After graduating from the Art institute of Pittsburgh in 1975, he worked as a successful graphic designer for about 30 years. In June 2010, he was finally able to follow his real passion and focus – specifically on fine art.
