ABOUT
Allison Baxter (b. 1999) is a sculptress and draftswoman from Minnesota, USA. At the age of 16, she embarked on her artistic path at the Perpich Center for Arts Education, an arts high school just outside Minneapolis. She began her formal training in sculpture and drawing at The Florence Academy of Art in 2018, driven by a passion for classical techniques. Alongside her artistic pursuits, she earned a BA in Religious Studies from St. Olaf College, graduating in 2021.
Allison has shown her work in both the U.S. and Europe, with recent exhibitions in London and Pieve di Cadore, the birthplace of Titian. She currently splits her time between Minneapolis and Florence, Italy, continuing to develop her work through observation, travel, and studio practice.
