Ed Sandoval, born in Nambe, New Mexico, is known for his vibrant and spiritual paintings that capture the nostalgic essence of northern New Mexico’s “old days,” blending cultural heritage with a style he calls "romantic expressionism." He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art from Eastern New Mexico and a Master’s in Psychology from the University of Utah. After years working as a carpenter and adobe contractor, Sandoval moved to Taos in the early 1990s to pursue fine art full-time, gaining recognition through numerous awards, exhibitions, and features in publications like Southwest Art and NBC’s Today Show. His work, deeply rooted in the landscapes and stories of his upbringing, has also been selected for prominent event posters, reflecting his connection to the region’s culture and history.
