Edward Gordon was born in Ocean City, New Jersey in 1940 and received a BA from Rutgers University. Edward has received numerous honors and awards including: Cover and Center Spread, Yankee Magazine; The Artists Magazine; Cover Competition, First Prize, Landscape Division, The Artists Magazine; Finalist in the Arts for the Parks Competition.

Edward achieves complete and painstaking precision in his renderings of textures colors and forms. Like photography, he deliberately softens the strong contrasts of the picture without blurring the forms.

He mellows the outline drawing with such perfection that it becomes impossible to detect under drawings. Edward creates a quiet beauty of a simple scene with fresh eyes, giving the viewer an idea of what he felt as he watched the light flooding through the windows and the colors and objects in the interiors.

He is a consummate draftsman with a keen eye depicting and engaging the viewer. His solitude evokes all one's senses, the smell and sounds of the ocean, the touch of objects, the doors, windows open to never-ending opportunities.
