Carter Todd

Works by Carter Todd at Dean Jensen Gallery in Milwaukee, WI. "...Carter Todd started drawing about 1980 when, in his thirty-third year, he entered a center for alcohol treatment. Lacking the ability to read, and weary of the offerings on television, Todd began drawing to overcome boredom. As he explains it: 'One day I asked a center worker for a pencil and some paper. Once I started drawing, I didn't want to stop. It calms me. It makes me feel good.'"
