"Most of my life as a painter has been devoted to 'contemporary realism.' I paint in acrylic, oil, and watercolor. Many of my works are painted outdoors in the landscape (plein air) as field studies or completed pieces, depending on time."-Ed Pointer.

Pointer has had his work shown throughout the country and received many prizes. His work has been recognized by the Kansas Watercolor Society, the American Cancer Society Benefit Show, and the Wichita Center for Arts.
