Bio:

Todd Williams was born and raised in Carthage, Missouri, a small community filled with history and fine artists. Todd’s artistic talent became evident at an early age when he was in elementary school, a watercolor he created of the Missouri State Capitol was chosen to be shown on a national television show called, Stand Up and Cheer. Encouraged throughout his school years by instructors, family and friends to continue exploring and developing his natural abilities, Todd earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Fine Art from Missouri Southern State University. Upon graduation, Todd began his career in the field of graphic art. He has worked as an art director, graphic designer and photographer for several large product manufacturing companies. Although Todd has spent many years building his career in graphics, he has never lost sight of his true passion, creating fine art. He always finds time to paint, sketch, or photograph the world around him. Todd enjoys creating art in the mediums of oil, pastel, acrylic and watercolor. He uses rich, vibrant color to bring life and inspiration to his art and design pieces. As Todd explains, “If I can capture through my artwork a mood, a feeling that compels the viewer to reminisce about a place they’ve been, or just reaches out to them, to me, that’s a success. That’s what I want to achieve.” In 2006, Todd began licensing his artwork on gift and home décor products as well. Then two years later in 2008, he signed on with a publisher to reproduce his pieces as wall art. His work quickly caught on in the art world and is currently being produced on many products in the home décor industry. These products include: specialty wall pieces, tabletop items, floor coverings, textiles, puzzles, partyware, garden flags, greeting cards, journals, fashion items and other gift and home décor. Todd currently resides in Neosho, Missouri with his wife, Tamie, son, Alex and daughter, Kaitlyn
