Edith McBee Hardaway

Edith McBee Hardaway, an artist from Upstate South Carolina, captivates viewers through her unique approach to "realistic abstract" art. Embracing an unstructured creative process, she weaves together unconventional materials to achieve paintings that pulse with rich textures and dynamic forms. Inspired by the natural beauty of South Carolina's diverse landscapes—from the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains to the serene marshes and sun-kissed beaches—Edith infuses her work with a palpable sense of place and emotion. Her Textile Heritage Collections reflect her appreciation for Greenville's artistic history, merging local industry with her artistic vision.

As a founding member of the Artists Guild Gallery, Edith not only showcases her stunning pieces but also actively engages with the local art community through events like Greenville Open Studios and Artistsphere. Her work has been exhibited at esteemed venues, including Center Stage and various museums, earning her accolades in competitions across the Southeast. With pieces available for purchase at the AGGG and through her website and social media.  Edith McBee Hardaway invites art lovers to experience the harmony of texture and emotion that characterizes her exceptional body of work
