Ed Hicks feels that what is left out is as important as what is put into a painting. He paints his impression of it, focusing on what first captures his attention. He likes to paint just enough information to tell the story, but wants the viewer to fill in the specifics. He searches for that special place, a scene that strikes him for a single element and it becomes the central point of the painting. He recreates landscape.

His studies at Vesper George School of Art in Boston gave Hicks a solid art foundation, and he is strongly influenced by Wyeth and the early impressionists. His work is in private homes and in corporations around the world.

He has received numerous awards and has had several one-man shows. He’s in galleries from Maine to Florida.
