Edwards Gallery

rtraits by Marguerite of 18 Supreme Court Justices & 7 Appellate Court Judges hang in the judicial buildings of Alabama. She has painted three United States Senators and the President of Auburn University. Thirteen of her portraits hang at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa as well as numerous universities and colleges in the southeast and many private collections.

In addition to portrait painting, she enjoys still life and landscape painting. She works in oil, pastel, charcoal and pencil. After graduating from Birmingham-SouthernCollege she continued her studies at the Art Students League in New York City.

Marguerites inspiration for art was first sparked by her grandfather “Spang”, Frank Spangler Sr. who was the political cartoonist for the Montgomery Advertiser for 40 years, and nurtured through her life by her parents who were both artists. Her father Chuck Whitehead continued to paint until his death at age 94.
