Growing up in Chicago, surrounded by a family of dapper men and stylish women, Edwina's heart has always belonged to the world of fashion and art. It never occurred to her to do anything else and an extensive career in advertising, illustration and design developed. She kept an on-going journal of her adventures as a retail art director, shooting with models Cindy Crawford, Uma Thurmond, Jennifer Beals and Halle Berry. After moving to Atlanta, GA, she wrote short stories for her own amusement while creating advertising and marketing campaigns for the Alliance Theater Co. with award-winning Artistic Director Kenny Leon and playwrights Elton John & Tim Rice, August Wilson, Janece Shaffer and Debbie Allen. For years she waited for the one big project that would bring it all together?fashion, art, and storytelling?before realizing, finally, that she would have to create the projects herself. And that's what she's been doing ever since. Writing, illustrating and self-publishing her own stories to share.
