Artist Bio: Marguerite Zwicker (1904-1993)

Marguerite Zwicker was born in Yarmouth and studied at the Nova Scotia College of Art. She taught painting at Acadia University and married fellow artist Leroy Zwicker. Marguerite, together with Leroy, ran Zwicker’s Gallery until 1969. Until the establishment of the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia and the university art galleries in the 1970s, Zwicker’s Gallery was the only venue in Halifax where art was regularly shown to the public. Marguerite also conducted painting and cultural tours of Spain and Portugal. Marguerite was strongly influenced by the great American artist-teacher Hans Hoffman, under whom she studied. She was particularly well-known for her watercolour landscape paintings of Nova Scotia.
