Eddie Fordham

I am a degree educated, full-time, independent artist living and working for over 25 years in Devon, with a studio at Elfordleigh near Plymouth, UK.. Sales are to collectors throughout the UK, US, China and Australia. I use artist quality paints and canvases with good archival longevity and all paintings are dispatched in bespoke wooden crates for ultimate protection in transit.

I live and work in a beautiful part of the country, and take inspiration from that. I choose to interpret this, not necessarily by painting the topographical, but instead finding the ordinary to describe the extraordinary. I like to explore these, they are often far from being simple and uninspiring. I find there is a natural poeticism, look closely and you will find a complex tapestry of colour, texture, light and shade.
