About Eddie

Eddie. Norwich. Flat cap. Suspicious of cameras.

For years I was an accountant. Sensible. Reliable. Quietly curbing my creativity.

I'd look at paintings and think — I aspire to that. Eventually, someone got fed up and handed me a set of watercolours. Told me to prove it. That was 15 years ago, and I'm still a little startled that this is now my job.

I'm entirely self-taught and based in Norwich. Animals have been in my life forever — my mum was obsessed with dogs, and my grandfather was a farmer. Every school holiday I was in muddy fields learning to read animals. Not their horoscopes. Just the way they carry themselves, the set of their ears, the look in their eyes. That's still what I paint today.

(I don't own a dog myself. My son is allergic. The irony is not lost on me.)

I paint fast, loose, and with as little fuss as possible. No fiddly detail. No overworking. Just watercolour doing what watercolour does best. That people buy these paintings — that this is somehow a living — is something I genuinely don't take for granted.

Thank you.
