Margaret Moffett Law’s art education led her to the most prestigious academies and influential teachers of the day. And while these studies took her far and wide—domestically and abroad—she spent much of her notable career in her hometown of Spartanburg, South Carolina. A vocal arts advocate, she co-founded the Spartanburg Arts and Crafts Club with fellow artist Josephine Couper, which has now evolved into the Spartanburg Art Museum.

No matter the medium—watercolor, pastel, oil, or print—Law portrayed the Southern experience in a signature style that was at once familiar and fresh, unidealized yet somehow affectionate. Of her own efforts, Law stated: “I put down what I see, wherever I am, and the result is a record of life in a small Southern town.”
