Edward Rainey was born in Glasgow, Scotland on 8 July 1961. At sixteen he left school and after a short time as a trainee butcher he joined the British army. During a summer holiday in Spain in 1984 when Edward was 23 he had a diving accident and was left paralysed from the neck down.

After this accident he took ‘stock’ of his life, rediscovered his faith in God and decided to try his first love - painting - using a brush held in his mouth.

Edward met and presented the Princess Royal with one of his paintings and met the late Princess Diana who attended one of his exhibitions. Edward’s ambition now is to graduate from the Glasgow School of Art and to become a full member of the MFPA.

[edit] Trivia

His influences include Vincent van Gogh and Salvador Dalí.

He has painted for Princess Anne and Paul McCartney.
