About Ed Tussey

Alaska is a never-ending source of inspiration for Ed Tussey. Winner of national and state awards, Ed is a full-time, freelance artist who captures on canvas the majesty of Alaska's interior, coastal, and marine environments and wildlife. A lifelong Alaskan, Ed lives on the Kenai Peninsula in the coastal town of Homer, Alaska with his wife and where they raised their two daughters.
Collectors of Ed Tussey's art are drawn to the impeccable detail with which his brush carefully defines and realistically portrays birds, mammals, and marine life in their natural settings. Ed's ability to accurately represent Alaska's wildlife stems from years of observing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitats on land and sea. He studied art and oceanography while attending college in Washington state. He has spent countless hours in remote wilderness areas and has traveled extensively throughout the coastal waters of Alaska, the Pacific Ocean, and the Bearing Sea.
The Tusseys self-published their first limited edition print series in 1985. Since then many of the editions have been collected and are listed as sold out. Ed's originals and productions can be found in galleries, museums, and private collections throughout Alaska, the continental U.S., Canada, and around the world.
