    Art Brokerage: Edward Holmes American Artist: Edward Holmes can best be described as a Western Realist whose oil npaintings exhibit a touch of impressionism in brush stroke. Ed's compositions are primarily figurative, richly composed to ndramatically describe the lives of the Native American people in an nexciting yet dignified manner. Ed's father was a career navy man, travel was the norm, exposing Ed to different locals giving the future artist a chance to experience new nlifestyles and broadening his horizons. It was Ed's senior year in high school that he was asked to spend that time by his cousin, a highly successful commercial iillustrator in New York. While there ed was exposed to the many galleries and museums that New York has to offer furthering Ed's interest in the arts. As a young man Ed came out west to study art on a scholarship to Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Here he was exposed to the dramatic landscapes of the west from the Wasatch mountains to the Grand Tetons in Wyoming. This experience would stay with Ed. Upon Graduation Ed moved back to Texas and pursued a commercial illustrator career for many successful years. However, the lure of the West beckoned and Ed moved family to Utah to pursue his fine art career in portraying the Native American's, the Cheyenne, Crow and Sioux. In 1996 Ed moved to Scottsdale, Arizona and opened his own Western Gallery showcasing his work. In 2000 Ed co-founded Western Artists of America dedicated to exhibiting the finest works of contemporary western artists in an annual museum show.
