CHARLOTTE EDWARDS ~ Artist
Charlotte is a native Nebraskan born in 1928 who depicts game birds in much of her work with a full Nebraska background.
Charlotte is a self taught artist who started painting as a hobby at the age of 27. She started painting full time in 1970 when her children were grown.
Much of Charlotte’s passion for wildlife came from hunting waterfowl with her husband Jack on the Platte River. In fact, Charlotte and Jack spent many dates in the duck blind which Charlotte contributes to their successful marriage.
Charlotte’s first major award was earned in 1977 with a pheasant painting and repeated that award in 1978 at the Midwest Wildlife Show in Kansas City, MO.
Other notable awards include: 1984 New Hampshire Pheasants Stamp, 1984 & 1991 Nebraska Habitat Stamp, Nebraska Ducks Unlimited Sponsor Artist for 1986 & 1991, and Iowa Ducks Unlimited Artist of the Year in 1988 & 1990.
Each year Charlotte donates her artwork to Pheasants Forever chapters across the state, and her work has been showcased in the Pheasants Forever banquet package. It’s safe to say that Charlotte has helped Pheasants Forever Chapters in Nebraska raise thousands of dollars for habitat, youth education, and habitat equipment.
Charlotte now resides in Bridgeport, NE with her husband Jack. She is still actively painting, and you can usually see her and Jack attending PF events in Western NE.
