Hester Frood

Hester Frood (1882–1971) was a painter and printmaker born in New Zealand. She came to England as a child of seven and was educated at Exeter School.[dubious – discuss] She studied art at Académie Colarossi in Paris. In 1906 she met artist David Young Cameron in Scotland and he taught her etching.[1]

Her mother, Mary Frood was heavily involved in the suffrage cause, and in 1913 Hester and her sister Constance carried the Topsham banner on the NUWSS Great Pilgrimage.[2]

Frood exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Royal Scottish Academy[3] and had her first one-man show at Colnaghi in 1925.[1] Her work was also sold by James Connell & Sons, a publisher of etchings in Glasgow and London.[4]

In 1927 Frood was married to poet Frank Gwynne-Evans and they lived on The Strand Topsham, Devon.[5] Her work is in the V&A,[6] the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and the British Museum.[1]

Frood died in Essex in 1971 and is buried in Topsham cemetery.[5]
