Everybody loved Bill — they always did. He will forever be known for his gentle, serving spirit and boundless creativity.  His vision for color and beauty was astounding — and if you knew him, you knew he noticed everything:  a blade of grass, a certain cloud formation, the ebb and flow of the tide. But because he knew that people were more important than things, he spent even more time and energy on loving and serving others than he did his passions of photography, art, antique toys, sports cars, fishing and nature.

After decades in advertising and marketing, this quintessential Renaissance man (also a Getty Image photographer whose work has sold in almost 60 countries to date) launched Bill Edwards Art and Beafish Designs to create and produce limited-edition fine art he called PhotoArt.  Photographing a high-resolution image with his Nikon companion, he would digitally enhance it on his computer into a brilliant one-of-a-kind piece of art. Due to his passion for fishing and the great outdoors, most of his subjects were fish that he caught and released, but he also created many pieces featuring coastal birds, architectural landmarks and more.
