Galveston, TX native, Frederick Carter was a prolific artist, commissioned to illustrate several book covers and paintings for collectors across the country. He served in WWII, attended A& M University and graduated from the Franklin School of Professional Art in New York, 1949.
He lived in El Paso for over 40 years, and during that time was commissioned to paint across the state. He was drawn to return to the ocean and painted coastal subject matter that reminded him of his Galveston upbringing.
