Knowing the Land
Artist Biography by Todd Carter
Knowing the land is one of my lifelong passions. My mother loved wilderness. She had no fear. As a young child, I slept on the ground in Copper Harbor with bears roaming the campground.
Exploring wilderness strengthens my love for painting local lands and inhabitants. With each painting, I learn and grow as an artist. By exhibiting my art, I learn from everyone I meet. Sharing my art and my joy of learning with others makes me happy.

My artwork is based on experience, exploration, and research. My depictions often begin with photographs. I sketch my subjects onto paper. Then I sketch on prepped canvas. Next, I start mixing my paints and painting basic features. I might work ten hours on a simple painting. On a detailed painting, I might work 140 hours or more.
My ideas come from exploring Upper Peninsula wilderness and from living a good life in Marquette. My curiosity to learn more about the land and its inhabitants gives energy to my creative muses.
Todd was awarded a Marquette Art Week 2024 grant and presented "How Does a Forest Grow?" at Picnic Rocks in Marquette on June 24 in partnership with Upper Peninsula Land Conservancy staff and volunteers. This super fun art, nature, and educational event was sponsored by the City of Marquette Office of Arts and Culture, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council, and Laura Songer at Wintergreen Hill Gallery & Gifts.
