Item Description

While in VCU’s painting program, Ed made the dilapidated buildings surrounding VCU his gallery—illegally painting directly on buildings or boards screwed onto the buildings until the city was covered. In 1992 Ed graduated with a painting degree and moved to Washington D.C. He toured with his band and continued to paint illegal murals all over the world. He later moved back to Richmond to join the band Kepone, and soon after started a gallery. Ed’s paintings and murals can be found in many permanent collections including Gap, G.E., Capital One, Fortune Magazine, N.B.C, Philip Morris, Media General, Mars and Play, Inc. He continues to play music, paint murals, create collaborative projects and work as a corporate creative consultant. Ed has gallery shows nationwide and has his studio in Richmond, Virginia where he lives with his beautiful wife and two children.
