Edwards attended High School for Art and Design where he studied color theory, critical thinking, and artistic techniques, and later attended Stony Brook University where he would go on to be drafted and become a professional basketball player in the NBA playing for the Los Angeles Clippers. Following his career in the NBA, Edwards began traveling overseas to play international basketball in countries such as China, Lebanon, Venezuela, and Italy, however after years on the court, Edwards found his ultimate home and solace back in his art studio. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"What happens when the applause that has followed you since high school becomes a memory?\u003cbr\u003eFor more than two decades, LeBron has sustained a level of greatness few have ever approached.
