Guest Artist

Marguerite Edwards is the 44th Montgomery Art Guild featured artist. A native of Montgomery, Edwards is a portrait painter celebrated for her depictions of eighteen Alabama Supreme Court Justices and seven Appellate Court Judges. Edwards has also captured the visages of United States Senators and other dignitaries. Alongside her portrait practice, Edwards creates stunning still lifes and landscapes in oil paint, pastel, charcoal, and pencil.

From an early age, Edwards found inspiration in art. Her parents were both artists and her grandfather Frank Spangler Sr. (“Spang”) was an acclaimed political cartoonist for the Montgomery Advertiser. Edwards is a graduate of Birmingham-Southern College and she attended the Art Students League in New York City.
