Edward Hersey (1948 - )

Born in 1948 in Croydon, Surrey, and later educated at Archbishop Tenisons Grammar School, Croydon, Edward first had an interest in art at the tender age of 13. His formative years were spent, however, in the retail jewellery trade. He has always had a love of music and art and is quite versatile, being able to play several instruments.

A young and most gifted artist, he has in the last decade established himself as the foremost artist in his field. His meticulous attention to every detail, and his rare ability to captivate his audience with his fabulous record of mood and lighting, elevate him into a league of the select few.

Hersey’s formative years were spent living in southern England, with its rich and varied landscape and abundant farm buildings, together with resident livestock.

New and interesting subjects encourage him to travel extensively throughout the U.K. to record the style and variation of farm buildings, the source of much of his exquisite major works. Demand by collectors for Hersey’s fine work is such, that there is invariably a long list of commissions outstanding by leading galleries who handle his work.
