Here's a historical reference:"Charlotte Edwards (1928-1991) was a self-taught painter who gained recognition for her wildlife paintings, particularly of ducks and geese. She started painting in the 1950s and later included pheasants in her artwork. Initially, she signed her work as "Ed Wards" due to the challenges she faced in a male-dominated art field. Her success in the 1970s brought her numerous awards and recognition, including a blue ribbon at a professional wildlife show in 1977 and a spot among the top 100 painters.
