Ed was born in England and grew up in The Isles Of Scilly, Cornwall. He took art classes at college, while studying for his electronics degree, but it was a life class 30 years later at The Round Top Center for the Arts that rekindled a serious interest in drawing and sculpture.
The evening classes at Round Top and The River Arts Centre, in Damariscotta, Maine, provided a welcome change from his busy yacht charter business. Two years later, inspired by a book by Dick Onians, he started carving the figure in wood.
He soon graduated to stone and clay. Several of his sculptures have been cast in bronze, either as limited editions or one-off commissions. He is primarily interested in sculpting the figure and currrently works with a group of like minded sculptors under The River Arts program.
The yacht charter business still dominates his life, but he looks forward to the time when he can concentrate more on his artistic interests.
Ed is John Hamilton's son and Jane's brother. He lives in Maine, with his wife, Barbara.
