Ed Haddaway's is well-known for his public art throughout Albuquerque, including creating the colorful sculptures on display at Tingley Beach.
"Many people have used the word "whimsical" to describe the sculpture of Albuquerque's Ed Haddaway. That may be an appropriate adjective but, for me, a better way of looking at Haddaway's work is to think of it as magical. ... Haddaway's vision is pure magic."
