Edward attended Edinburgh College of Art but left after one term and considers himself to be a British self-taught contemporary Scottish wildlife and Scottish landscape artist based in his Perthshire and Edinburgh studios. He has experimented with all forms of painting. Although he became proficient in many media, including pastel and watercolor, he soon realized that oils were ideal for his style and to fully express his use of colour and light. With a passion for dramatic and sparsely populated locations, Edward has spent many years exploring and capturing the Scottish Highlands’ wild remoteness and majesty through oil paints. The inspiration for Edward’s landscape and wildlife work comes from the special places he finds on his travels across Scotland as well as the beauty surrounding his Perthshire art studio.
In 2022, he finally decided to concentrate fully on his art, and since that date has gone from strength to strength. His work is displayed in many private homes. His painting “Nine Puffins” was sold to a member of the royal family, and his painting “Puffin Rock” made it to the final 3 paintings in the BBC Wildlife Artist of The Year. Edward has enjoyed many solo and joint exhibitions over the years from RSPB venues, Pitlochry Festival Theatre, and a mixed exhibition with the renowned artist Paul Howey at Waterston House (Scottish Ornithologists Club).
