Born and raised in Maryland, Ned Ewell's appreciation for his home state is quite evident in many of his watercolor paintings. Even as a child, Ned had an interest in wildlife that grew more intense as he matured.

Whether painting upland game birds, the marsh scenes of the Eastern shore, a cold hunting scene, the beach setting of Ocean City or the tranquility of a boat on the Chesapeake, Ned manages to capture the mood of each scene.

He exhibits his work in art shows throughout the mid-Atlantic region and has won awards at many of these shows. Among these shows is the Eastern Waterfowl Festival where he has exhibited for the past 30 years. He had the privilege of being selected for the Waterfowl Festival booklet cover with a watercolor of wood ducks in flight. He has appeared as the cover artist for various publications.

In the past 32 years that he has been painting full-time, his collectors have expanded from coast to coast as well as other continents.

A member of the Baltimore Watercolor Society, he is also listed in the book, "Who's Who in Wildfowl Art."

Ned resides in Cockeysville, MD and on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
