Originally from Philadelphia, Edwards moved to Columbus, OH in 1984 and later became a recipient of the Ohio Arts Council’s Individual Artist Fellowship. Inspired by her African heritage, Edwards created mixed-media work, such as life-size reliquaries made from baskets, to explore the relationship between African traditions and American culture.
