About the artist:

Massachusetts artist, and musician Edward Hickey has quickly became a top selling artist. He is a self taught painter and his art reflects his creative driven straight forward spirit and he is definitely that fun-loving guy next door.
"I painted a lot as a kid and was always looking to make van gogh type paintings with lots of thick paint. As I grew into my teens I got interested in playing guitar,gardening, music and all of the other teenage stuff and the artistic desire grew a lot more serious.

• "The events in my life, my marriage, becoming a Dad, laughter with people whom I adore, bereavement of those dear to me, meaningful music, poor choices, ongoing challenges and occasional triumphs are all reflected in the paintings I create. My artwork is super charged with much emotions of the time."

"It's like hearing that certain song that comes on the radio and WOW - you're right back in time filled with the craziness of mixed feelings. So, I have had many many conversations, letters and emails that began with this picture reminds me so much of_'""When art clicks' it triggers an emotional response. If my art can spark smiles and memories, there's a real connection between art, artist, and my viewer."
"THAT'S why I desire to do what I do, and why I go to the lengths that I go to; people only respond to Passion, Authenticity and the walk of experience."

• "My clients and members KNOW that I know."
