Edison T. Crayne was born in San Diego, California and
grew up in Los Angeles. He earned a Bachelor of
Professional Arts Degree, with Honors, from Art Center
College of Design, in Pasadena, California. He studied
rendering under Disney legend, Dorothea Redmond while at
Art Center and with national award wining artist and sculptor
Ron Pekar.

Edison is an Associate Member of the National Watercolor
and of Watercolor West. His work has been displayed at
Walt Disney Imagineering's Glendale campus, HNTB's Los
Angeles office, Gensler's Santa Monica office and the
Hilton Hotel at Torry Pinse, California. A number of his
paintings appeared as background elements in the art studio
set for the Ally McBeal television show.

Working with transparent watercolor or oil on canvas, his
style combines free floating, amorphous washes and sumi-E
like lines in contrast to areas of rendered detail,
successfully creating works which are both spontaneous and
thoughtful. Edison's subject matter ranges from broad vistas
of sweeping landscape to delicate elements, colors and
shapes found within more intimate settings.

Exhibitions have included the "An Affair on the Art" exibit
and sale at WDI in Glendale, and the annual Santa Paula Art
& Photography Exibit. Edison was one of fourteen artist
who participated in a four-month long mixed media exhibit
mounted at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines Hotel.
