Lucy Marguerite Frobisher - her art and legacy
Until 13th April 2025
Lucy Marguerite Frobisher (1890–1974) was an artist and a teacher. She specialised in animal painting and was the director of the Frobisher School of Painting, which flourished well into the 1970s. The Studio at back of the Bushey Museum & Art Gallery was used by the artist and continues to function as a teaching studio.
Marguerite Frobisher came to Bushey in about 1911 from Leeds. Like the majority of Herkomer students, she was very young, leaving the safety and security of home to travel and live the life of an artist. She joined the Kemp-Welch School of Painting, then situated in Rudolph Road.
