About the Artist

Todd M. Casey’s work touches on more than simplistic realism. There is a haunting, nearly literary quality to each frame— a feeling that subjects are viewed from behind mottled glass, burnished by enigmatic candlelight, or brushed by the soft, hazy edges of a half-remembered dream.

His work is classically styled but progressive in approach. Every painting has a tale to tell, brewed from a deep well of introspective thought.

His paintings have been honored with awards several times in recent years. Most recently, he won first four times at the Portrait Society of America’s Members Only Competition and placed first in oil painting from the Allied Artists of America in 2015. His work can be found in collections throughout the United States, and on the East Coast at Rehs Contemporary Gallery, in Midtown New York City, and Simie Maryles Gallery in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

In resulting years, Todd has made the transition from painter to author and teacher. He published his first art book

The Art of Still Life in 2020, and his second book The Oil Painters’ Color Handbook came out in August of 2022. His work is also featured in Cocktails: A Still Life, by Christine Sismondo and James Waller, which was released in August 2022. When not painting, writing, or illustrating, Casey teaches classes for the Massachusetts College of Art and The Academy of Art University Online, The Art Students League of New York, and through private online classes and workshops.
