About Ed:
Ed Mangiaratti has been drawing and taking art classes for over 20 years. From a young age his self-teaching included reading art books and investigation, as well as trial and error. Although he works in various art forms, Ed specializes in portraits using graphite, charcoal, pastels, and watercolor. He finds the challenge of making an accurate portrait and conveying that person’s personality on paper very satisfying.
