Sylvia Edwards〔Art Finders. ("Sylvia Edwards" ), ''Art Finders''〕 (born 30 January 1937) is an American abstract artist. Her work has achieved huge commercial success and is known, and respected around the world. She has had over thirty solo exhibitions in America, Europe, the Far and Middle East since her first commercial exhibition in 1975. Nearly 50 group exhibitions have included her work. Her reproductions on UNICEF greeting cards are amongst the most popular and sell in the millions. Her poster prints and limited edition silk-screen prints are some of the best-selling images in their respective ranges. == Early life == Sylvia Edwards was born in Boston, Massachusetts, to a second-generation American. Her father, Junius Griffiths-Edwards, was a quiet man yet extremely creative, with original ideas. He was a music impresario, hiring the big bands of the 1940s, such as Harry James, Duke Ellington and Tommy Dorsey—and eventually founded a magazine, ''Ballroom and Orchestra'', a forerunner for ''Down Beat''. Her mother was a compassionate and independent woman with French Canadian heritage—family name Mailloux-Chabot. She encouraged Sylvia to draw images of the world around her and instilled in her a love of colour.〔Sylvia Edwards: A Monograph. ("Sylvia Edwards: A Monograph." ),'' Mel Gooding, David Elliott''〕 Summers were spent outside the city in a country house in Uxbridge, Massachusetts. The variety and beauty of the countryside reinforced Edwards' already active imagination while the isolation encouraged her resourcefulness and creativity. While at secondary school she attended special classes for artistically gifted children and went on to gain acceptance at Massachusetts College of Art (University of Massachusetts) from 1954–1957. Here she discovered her love of abstraction under the tuition of Lawrence Kupferman, a modernist painter who introduced his students to the work of Georges Braque and Piet Mondrian and the dynamics of city-scapes. Her formal studies ended suddenly, when she left college to marry an Iranian student, Sadri Golestaneh who was studying to become an electronic engineer. They remained in Boston to have their first daughter, Shirin in 1958 and then moved to Philadelphia, where their second child, Nader was born in 1960. In 1961 the family moved to Tehran, Iran—and the next stage in Edwards' artistic education had begun.
