Edward Stamp was evacuated from London during the war to a small farm in Dunton, Buckinghamshire. The countryside had a profound impact on his creativity, and the Buckinghamshire landscape has frequently featured in his work ever since.He studied at Northampton School of Art, where he gained the National Diploma of Design in 1961. after his studies he worked as a tractor driver and painted and sketched the land he worked. By 1973 his worked gained enough recognition to make being an artist his full time occupation. In 1980 he was awarded the Bronze Medal for the most outstanding watercolour by a non-member in the annual exhibition of the RI, and was subsequently elected a member in the same year. In 1981 his wood engravings merited his election as a member of the Royal Institute of Painter Etchers and Engravers. His originals are in collections both public and private worldwide.
