“I am a self-taught artist, based on the South coast of England. I work almost exclusively in oil paint on canvas. I don't like to name-drop, but in 2013 Her Majesty the Queen had my painting of the Royal Yacht Britannia presented to her at Windsor Castle. A very proud moment for me.”

“What an awesome pet portrait, Stephen. Your painting of my Golden labradoodle looks amazing. You have captured her lively essence and her favourite relaxed pose perfectly, I love it! Thank you so much for all your hard work, I’m so glad I found you!”

“The paintings of Stephen Edwards are destined to become highly collectable and I reckon they represent great value. The portraiture is always insightful and never mawkish, and his post-impressionist seascapes are absolutely first class.”

“Stephen is so easy to work with. He uses photographs as a reference for what you want, and because I live about an hour from him he even offered to come and do a photo shoot here, just to make sure the composition was perfect. The results are even better than I'd hoped. Thank you so much.”

“My owners have known Stephen Edwards since way before I was born, and they honestly think he's the greatest, cheapest, most talented, fabulous, stylish, reliable and altogether brilliant painter who has ever married their daughter. He's also painted me and fed me biscuits, so I love him too.”
