About THE ARTIST

My name is Joey Edwards and I make weird and wonderful things.

Wire sculpture, hyper realistic carved pumpkin portraits, painting and more. Everything I make is a one-of-a-kind handmade work of fine spooky art. When I was a kid I would make many of my own toys out of wire, clay, and tinfoil. Anything I wanted to play with was limited only by my own imagination. When I got older my weird toys just got bigger and took on an expressive life of their own.

Creating lets me focus and play. I don’t confine myself to a single artistic medium. That allows me the freedom to express myself how I please and challenges me to grow. Although the mediums I work in vary in form and presentation, I feel like they all share the same style of dark and dreamy playfulness. Because I have moderate to strong protanopia, a form of red-green colorblindness, It’s like the hue of my world is muted. Many colors just blur together to me. But because I see things differently, I feel that I express myself uniquely.

Since 2017 my brand Edwards Art and Design has shown and sold work up and down the west coast from San Diego CA to Victoria BC, and have shown in Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, New Jersey, and New York City. My brand Edwards Pumpkins are among the finest jack-o-lantern’s you will ever see. I specialize in carving hyper realistic portraiture on faux pumpkins that will never rot and can be safely lit all year with LED lighting. I also take commissions and work directly from photographs to bring your own ideas to life. I have had my pumpkins featured in the museum area of Monsterpalooza in 2022 and I have small collections of them on display at events such as Rise of the Jack O'lanterns in Long Island NY and across Canada in Pumpkins After Dark.
