Ed's approach to creating his art is strongly influenced by the human form and natural surroundings. He is constantly searching for images that reflect these influences through magazines and books. The found imagery is re-worked using an analogue approach with just a knife, scissors or a combination, involving mixed media (painting) techniques. Ed's aim is to reinvent this imagery to project a contemporary vision of beauty. He is currently exploring the use of just one element and has started a series of portraits using oil paints and oil pastels.

Ed graduated from The Norwich School of Art in 2004 with a BA Hons degree in Printmaking. After graduating, he continued his printing practice in screen printing and collage. He has participated in many group exhibitions around the UK and a solo exhibition in San Antonio, USA. Ed currently lives in Saffron Walden, where he has a studio.
