At the impressionable age of 8, Edward Rittenberg was faced with a daunting choice; continue
art classes or play baseball. He chose the latter. However, his passion for creating art never
abandoned him. And then there was a very small request that changed everything. While in his
early 30s, Edward found his way back when his wife challenged him to recreate an image on a
small card. That simple exercise reignited what would become a successful new chapter as a fine art painter.
Fast forward almost 25 years, and Nashville artist Edward Rittenberg has built a reputation for
replicating happiness on canvas. Part painter, part sculptor, Edward has developed a technique
whereby he molds color into emotional journeys. The tones greet you, and the textures invite
you to stay awhile. Through an adept hand, he employs a palette knife and other instruments to
marry energetic, acrylic hues with poetic shapes to create a floral moment unlike any other. He
firmly believes that patience is a process, and that applies not only to his masterful work but to his
path as a creative soul as well.
Today, you can find Rittenberg’s signature pieces in private collections across the country.
Although several of his works are commissioned, Edward’s pieces are exhibited at scheduled
events, as well as at some of the nation’s top galleries.
