Ed Little
American 1957 -

Born in England in 1957, Ed Little graduated summa cum laude from London's Ravensbourne College of Art and Design in 1983. That year, he emigrated to the United States and worked as a freelance illustrator in graphite, colored pencil and airbrush. Since 1988, he has painted exclusively in oil. Little has painted a wide range of subjects, including consumer products, birds and animals, space technology, sports, historical events and people. Painstaking in his research, Little believes "Quality in a painting is dependant as much upon the thorough understanding of the subject matter to be painted as it is upon the technical ability of the artist to paint." As a result of this uncompromising attitude, Little has been commissioned by many of America's largest corporations for portraits of their senior executives, including the chairmen of Coopers & Lybrand, chairman of Nabisco, chairman of Pfizer, president of Pfizer and the vice chairman of Citicorp.
