Todd Baxter has loved to draw the world around him as far back as he can remember, one of those enviable people who always knew what they wanted to be when they grew up. His artist’s eye first guided Todd’s successful career as a graphic designer, begun after he graduated from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh in 1975. For four decades, he created images that engaged audiences in the world of advertising. Then in June 2010, with the responsibilities of raising a family in the rearview mirror, he decided to adjust course to focus on his passion for fine art.

​

In 2021 Todd was awarded “Best of Show” in the Colored Pencil Society of America 29th Annual International Exhibition. 

​

Todd works in oils and colored pencil. He is a member of the Union County Arts Council, the Catawba River Art Guild, the Southern Arts Society, Inc. and the Colored Pencil Society of America, earning his CPSA signature status in 2022.

​

Todd teaches weekly painting and drawing classes in his Rock Hill, SC studio.
