Freda Marston, née Clulow (1895-1949), was born in Hampstead and studied at the Regent Street Polytechnic, founded in 1838 – followed by four years in Italy with John Terrick Williams, RA. Williams was a landscapist working in oils, watercolour and pastels, and his luminescent style greatly influenced Marston. In 1922 she married another landscape painter, Reginald St Clair Marston (1886-1943).
She was a prolific artist, exhibiting at the Royal Academy, RBA (Royal Society of British Artists), ROI (Royal Institute of Oil Painters), RI (Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours), the Royal Society of Artists Birmingham, the Brook Street Art Gallery, Connell and Sons Gallery, the Fine Art Society, the Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts, Manchester City Art Gallery and the Royal Society of Women Artists. Freda Marston was elected to the RBA in 1924 and the ROI 1925. She was also the only female artist commissioned by British Rail, the London, Midland & Scottish and the London & North Eastern Railways to produce posters and the shallow horizontal paintings used for artwork in railway carriages.
Her works in public collections include Flood the Amberley (Towner Art Gallery); Duncombe Park, Yorkshire, and Lastingham, Yorkshire, both original British Railways carriage prints (National Railway Museum).
