From a very early age he was always interested in drawing, especially ships, and as a small child he could often be found in a quiet corner busily sketching vessels of all types. After having to leave Liverpool College of Art prematurely, due to family
commitments, he took up several occupations to subsidise his career as A marine artist. Eventually Edward Walker's talents began to be recognised both by the art world and the public alike. His works now hang in public as well as private collections
worldwide, including Royal circles. He has had several, highly successful one-man exhibitions, including Harrods. Edward's works have also been exhibited throughout the USA and the Continent. He has also shown his works on several occasions at the Paris
Salon at the particular invitation of the Society of French Artists

Edward is the official artist for the Titanic Artefacts Exhibition currently on show in Memphis USA where his paintings illustrate the scene both before and after RMS Titanic met her fate. He also illustrates the many books on Titanic written by the prestigious American historians Charles Haas and John Eaton. There are also Titanic exhibitions currently to be seen in Germany, France and Portugal where, once more, Walker paintings are on show.

Although specialising in marine subjects and working in oils, Edward is equally at home painting a variety of subjects in the water-colour medium. One of his latest oil paintings is of John Cabot's ship 'Matthew'. This is to commemorate the five hundred year anniversary of the ship's leaving of Bristol to discover Newfoundland. In order to authenticate Cabot's last view of England, Edward put to sea, as he does on countless other occasions, in all types of weather, to research details of the surrounding area.

Edward's latest work is a painting of the QE2 (yet another commission from Cunard) to celebrate their flagship's 30th anniversary.
Edward and his works have appeared on numerous television programmes in conjunction with news items and documentaries relating to both sailing and steamships. His work is also widely published both in fine art prints and book illustrations. He is very proud of the fact that his authenticity and attention to detail in every work undertaken has given him the reputation of being one of the most important marine artists of our time. This has been underlined by the fact that his paintings are acknowledged by both naval and marine experts as being historical documents in their own right.
