Ed Day was born on 3rd January 1937 in Strood. He attended Rochester Art School and then won two painting scholarships. The first was to study at the Royal College of Art. He then furthered his painting ambitions by attending Yale University in the States.
Much of his career was spent in publishing, working with international publishers and overseeing a large number of highly illustrated and beautifully designed books. However, he was always an artist at heart and spent much of his time working on his painting projects.
In the later part of Ed's life he moved to Wiltshire where he focused on his art, working in his studio. He has had a number of exhibitions and was working on his latest collection at the time of his sudden and unexpected death.
Ed left behind a legacy of his work, some of which can be viewed on this website. His family would like to celebrate the talent of this highly creative individual by seeing his paintings on display where they can be enjoyed by as many people as possible. To this end, a number of paintings are available to be purchased by individuals who appreciate Ed's colourful and vibrant ideas. If you would like to discuss buying one of Ed's paintings (a relatively small number are available) please contact Madeleine, who will be happy to talk to you in greater detail.
As Ed himself said, "Art Can Be Fun" and I know he would be happy to share his work with you.
