'Narrative artworks are inspired by many areas of life. Religion, history, culture, and current events to name a few. They can represent an idea, such as a belief, freedom, and encouragement. Narrative art is meant to teach, inspire, inform, and even to preserve memories and culture. It can be a way to understand the experiences of people from various places and times.'
​ ~Edwin Lester

Edwin was born in Philadelphia, PA. He is a self-taught artist who brings a very sophisticated and technically advanced style of realism to his figurative and atmospheric paintings. His work centers on themes that are important and personal to him. The narrative approach allows the artist to convey an emotion, a moment in time as if reading without the turning of pages. For the artist, art and life are one, and life and his belief in the teachings of the Bible should leave no canvas unpainted, for the stories are man. He brings the joy he has found in his beliefs to the act of making art. The popular artist has produced a successful line of best-selling limited edition and open edition prints and has exhibited in Galleries and museums across the nation. He is an award wining artist at major art events, fairs and shows. His work is currently collected and sought after world wide.

“I just love what I do”, he says in his artist statement, “and when I walk out into the world each day, there is so much to see, so much to paint”.
