Artist Biography

Edward Stamp RI (1939- ) is a landscape artist. Born in London, he was evacuated during the Second World War to a small farm in Dunton, Buckinghamshire, which was to have a significant impact on his later work as a landscape painter. He studied at Northampton School of Art, gaining the National Diploma of Design in 1961. Whilst employed as a tractor driver, he painted and sketched the land he worked, combining the life of farming with that of an artist until 1970. The success of his first London exhibition in 1973 led to full-time occupation as an artist, and his work has been shown regularly at the Royal Academy since 1975. In 1980 he was awarded the Bronze Medal for the most outstanding watercolour by a non-member in the annual exhibition of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour, and he was subsequently elected a member in the same year.
