After graduating from the University of Utah in 1962, he visited California and came in contact with the Beat movement and poets Lewis Ellingham and Gail Chugg. After deciding to move to the Bay area, Edwards developed an interest in collage. Edwards made collage works throughout the 1960s while also writing poetry. The majority of Edwards’ paintings feature human beings and animals.
