Edward was a prolific Cumbrian artist who painted mainly in watercolours. He was born in Workington where he worked for 25 years as a clerk in the local steelworks. He later moved to a village near Cockermouth and later still he lived in the vicinity of Lake Bassenthwaite, Cumbria where he was a frequent visitor to the Pheasant Inn on the shores of the lake.
