| About the artist

Edward Hickling was born in Nottingham and from an early age showed a natural gift for drawing. He was sent to the Nottingham school of art and his talent came to the attention of Arthur Spooner who gave him private tuition.
At the outbreak of the 2nd World War, Ted enlisted and was captured and held as a prisoner of war. On his release he decided to become a full time painter and private tutor. He exhibited at the Royal Academy, The Royal Watercolour Society, The Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour and the Royal Society of Marine Artists. His work is held by Derby Art Gallery.
