FUTURE RELICS: Artifacts for a New World

Raised in Riverside, he worked in New York and L.A. and had a successful career as a graphic designer and art director for Variety and NBC. Ed referred to himself as a cultural journalist in recent years but he was so much more: an artist, designer, photographer and muralist. However, the title that seemed to delight him the most, but one that he never quite said aloud was that of a scholar. Ed earned his BA late in life from Nevada State College, then his curious mind led him to earn an MFA from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 2018. Furthering his education was like throwing gasoline on a fire; Ed’s creative output flourished through art shows, print editions, writings on contemporary Latinx art and his recent 2019 solo show at the Riverside Art Museum.
