Todd Casey is an artist, author and teacher who was born and raised in Lowell, Massachusetts. Casey's work touches on more than simplistic realism. His work is classically styled but progressive in approach. Every painting has a tale to tell, brewed from a deep well of introspective thought. He has authored the best selling books The Art of Still Life and The Oil Painters' Color Handbook through Monacelli/Phaidon Press. He is currently working on two more books due out in the Fall of 2026 and the Fall of 2027. He also periodically writes for the Artist's Magazine and International Artist's Magazine.
