| About the artist
Born: 1870
Died: 1926
Edwin John Alexander was an innovative Scottish decorative style painter in oil and watercolour, particularly known for his paintings of animals. At the age of only 17, he accompanied Joseph Crawhall on a painting tour to Tangier that was to mark his life and artistic approach. He lived and worked in Egypt but settled in Inveresk after his marriage in 1904 and became one of Scotland's leading bird, flower and landscape painters of the early 20th century. His skills were honed by studying the birds he kept in his garden and by sketching at the zoo.
