A prolific creator, Wade Edwards aims to examine every vantage offered by human variation. Self-taught but inspired by artists as diverse as da Vinci, Monet, and Wilson Bickford, his work explores abstract and impressionist themes through constantly shifting and evolving techniques as suits the moment and subject. Wade has shown his work from coast to coast. He was a partner in the Avenue Gallery, the feature in-store painter for the Davie Art Shop, a regular live painter for the Bohemian Caress series, and winner of a national competition which saw his work displayed on advertising boards nationally. Having come to the canvas later in life than many, Wade develops his own techniques as he goes. While respecting formal structures and approaches, he feels most comfortable letting his brushes be his eyes and throwing himself whole into the work. He looks forward to exploring new forms and techniques as opportunity is sparked by chance or spurred by the muses. whispers of humanity is Wade's first published collection of paintings. He lives in Vancouver, BC.
