Collected by several museums, he has exhibited internationally and created numerous murals throughout the western United States. A native of Denver, educated at the University of California, Berkeley, Edward lived in Los Angeles for 20 years. He moved to Madrid, New Mexico in 1996 where he opened his Studio/Gallery in 2001.

Gilliam's Paintings are curious in their knowledge of history. They are direct, strong, what you have to call Gutty". -Charles Shear, Oakland Tribune.

What makes his work so interesting is its drive and verve... in the end it is the artist's energy, and the fascination exerted by the individual parts, which carries his paintings ---USC Publication, Variations: 5 Los Angeles Painters

In Gilliam's work feelings are general high spirits and energy, which carry right over into abstract paintings. -William Wilson, Los Angeles Times.

I paint to an interpretable spacial construct. References to historical attitudes are apparent because I have come to similar conclusions as my predecessors, especially the American abstract expressionists and the Europeans. -Edward Gilliam
