Allison Baxter (b. 1999) is a sculptor and draftswoman whose journey began amidst the vibrant artistic community of Minneapolis, Minnesota. At the age of 16, she embarked on her artistic path at the Perpich Center for Arts Education, a high school outside of Minneapolis, where she was nurtured by mentors who ignited her passion for classical artistry.

Allison 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.

She has exhibited her work both nationally and internationally, with recent showcases in London and Pieve di Cadore, the birthplace of Tiziano Vecellio. She explores opposing themes of strength and grace through an academic approach, aiming to reconcile both in one or more figures. Recently, she has been playing with the romantic double image—composing landscapes with human images within.

Currently dividing her time between her hometown of Minnesota and the artistic haven of Florence, Allison's work continues to evolve as she explores new avenues of expression and delves deeper into the profound complexities of the human experience.
