Pete Penner Sunday, February 24th 2008 - 09:15:46 PM peteandcheryl@sympatico.ca My friend, it's been a while since we actually talked. But given your extensive travelling I can see that you are very busy. Few people can actualy say that they have reached their dream in life (and to make a living out of it). I can remember you and I talking about Lisa encouraging you to pick up painting. You definitely have come a long way. No matter how little we have met and maybe have in common anymore I still consider you my oldest, good friend. pete

John Dodsworth Monday, February 11th 2008 - 12:06:46 AM dodsworth@execulink.com Hello Edward, I happened to be visiting Niagara-on-the-Lakes, and taking pictures in Niagara Falls area, as I'm a starving artist. It was a very cold day, but I'm glad, I stopped in to your gallery, very sophisticated compositions of wildlife. Realism art is very popular with many people including myself and for an artist your dipictions are wonderful pieces, keep up the good work. I believe, I was driving away from your gallery when you were showing up for your show in South Carolina. Good luck and hope to me you one day. John Dodsworth

Sarah Gravel Sunday, January 6th 2008 - 01:04:48 AM MysticClown6@hotmail.com AMAZING WORK! I live in new york and I went up to Niagara on the Lake with my boyfriend for the day and I came upon the gallery. I'm majoring in art and love to see everyone else's work. When I stepped inside, my eyes teared up right away, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I would have to say that Edward's artwork has been a huge inspiration for me, and even the people I have shown his work to too. Keep it up, your talent is unlike any other. Sarah

Dieter Gutmann Sunday, May 20th 2007 - 05:38:23 AM DiLiz4041@aol.com Dear Lisa and Edward, ...remember - of Bandhavgarh ? evening - and on the jungle-road ? I will start to send you interesting files about the situation of TIGER's from the perspective of Researchers; ...I do hope that you journey had an good end - Benny and myself we recorded 75 hours about the subject of "Human's and Tiger's" - all is now at the post-production in the studio; will see when the film is coming out - end of the year; at a moment we have a discussion with people from the discovery-channel. ...on India-Lion's - there is havy poching at a moment; we will see how things are going on; there are always more and more "bombings" in India - the security-level of the country is really going down. Interesting is, that in Uttar Pradesh the most populated country in India a women won the parlament-voting - she is from the loest cast !!! ...it means also - a steady revolution is still going on; think about : 500 Million people are poor in India 400 Million of them cannot read and write 300 Million are very poor those people are opposite of the success-story of those who are moving the country forward into a modern society; At the end of this note - the pictures are coming soon ! take care of you - and it will be funny to meet you again on any good place on earth - or in Canada - or in Hamburg where we are living. With best regards Dieter

You have a wonderful talent and we were so lucky to have come in for a browse that day it was the grizzly resting by the water in the window that brought us in.

Mike Vickers Friday, April 6th 2007 - 01:12:29 PM mike1606@hotmail.co.uk http://www.tigersinthewild.com Hi Edward and Lisa It was nice to meet up with you both at Bandhavgarh and I hope that you will have enjoyed the remainder of your time in India. I had a great sighting on my last day-I witness the Chakradhara sub adult tiger making a kill of a small Chittal deer only to loose it to her bigger brother. However he also subsequently lost out as shortly afterwards B2 their Father appeared and they both fought for about 30 seconds and then the youngster gave way to his Father who stole the prey and then devoured the lot! Do drop me a line and let me know how you got on and perhaps maybe we will meet up again. Best wishes Mike p.s. Fantaststic artwork on your website-keep up the good work.

Lauren Collins Thursday, September 14th 2006 - 10:04:38 PM angelic_devil28@hotmail.com It's not so much "do I want one of these paintings".... But, "how can I possibly pick just one!!". Absolutely beautiful!! I cant wait to hang one on my wall! My parents have already started a collection (kicking back otter, and moose) and I hope to follow suit. What I am really waiting for is a hippo to add to my home. I absolutely love them and am having the hardest time finding a painting of one. I know you would do a absolutely wonderful job capturing their adorable features! I'll keep my fingers crossed as I know you are in Africa right now! It'll be worth the wait, I'm sure!

I can't say in words how much I love this piece and admire all your work. I also think it is so wonderful that your wife, Lisa, is the person who made you realize your God-given gift for creating such beautiful art and bringing these amazing creatures to life. We really enjoyed hearing your stories and I will be in touch to get much-needed advice from you and Lisa about my planning a trip to Africa. I realize more than ever now, that I have been putting this off too long - a trip to Africa has been a dream of mine for a long time now. Thank-you so much for taking the time to talk with us and to sign the back of the "The Heir of the Throne" for me. It really means a lot. Hope to talk to you and Lisa soon. And special thanks as well to Shelley - she was most interesting to chat with and it is great to see her genuine admiration for your work. /Anne McInnis Hamilton, Ontario

I have now had a chance to look at your website and I can tell you have put as much passion into all of your paintings and sketches....and not just that beautiful elephant I fell in love with. Self taught....wow....I am so impressed. Congratulations on exploring your talents and sharing with the rest of us. I may be your newest fan!!

Robin Harper Monday, December 12th 2005 - 11:18:05 AM robin.harper@bmo.com I visited the new gallery in Niagara on the Lake on Saturday December 10th, and was totally impressed with the art and the people. Shelley was kind enough to spend a great deal of time with me providing background info on many of the exhibits. As a resident of Aurora,I was especially happy to hear of the event planned for April at the Wellington gallery.I am really looking forward to it..

Melissa Pearce Thursday, December 8th 2005 - 10:10:30 PM mel_p03@hotmail.com Hello, This is Melissa Pearce just adding a few comments about your work. I am so blown away by your work, that you have become an inspiration. I was absolutly floored when I was told you work in acrylic. I myself work in acrylic while studying painting at Brock University. I was always told that with acrylic you cant achieve the high realism. I got a brochure from your wife (i think) from Niagra on the Lake and proudly showed it to my classmates and encouraged them to visit. Again.... you are an incredible artist and adventurist!!!

Kim Hopcraft Sunday, October 9th 2005 - 09:05:36 PM hoppyx4@msn.com We saw your art at the Vineland Craft Show and loved it. We are very interested in a couple of pieces for our living room. I came back to get a card from Lisa, so we could follow up within the next few months. Ironically, we live just down from you on Main St. and have seen your van numerous times in Port Dalhousie and the city. Your work is fabulous and we feel it is even more unique that you are our neighbor too. What a small world we ultimately live in to meet in this way, if only to share this small world and live in peace with the wild too. We'll be in touch. All the best with your gallery opening.

Angela (Waring) Andrews Friday, April 15th 2005 - 04:51:01 PM angela.andrews@bms.com Hi Ed & Lisa I had to pass this story along,... I was in an office this week (I'm a drug rep) and I was admiring the physician's artwork. When i mentioned that I was interested, he brought me into his office to show me his pride and joy, and low and behold it was a 'SPERA' piece. I happened to see that you will be NOTL next week, and I quickly contacted this physician (Dr. Peter Gleeson- Fort Erie) to let him know. Small world. Hope to see you over the summer. I'll keep in touch and coincide a date with my mum & dad. Best wishes for a great show (we will be in Florida- i hope to catch your next local one) Regards, Angela

I would greatly appreciate this. Thank you Tammy
