Byrne Marton's long life is one of the amazing stories in American history. Dr. Marston had a distinguished career as a medical practitioner, an early family history that included some of the most influential people and experiences that shaped the twentieth century. His art, which he so enjoyed making and sharing, brought great beauty to light, in celebration of the places he loved and called home, the people he encountered and imagined and often in his work you can catch the twinkle of his eye in the subtle but kind humor that imbues his human subjects. Byrne’s love for life, for Audrey, his beloved, his family and friends was evident in his every word and inflection and, indeed, in every brushstroke. His work will endure, his charm and glad embrace of the wonders of this world will delight generations of art lovers for years to come.
Byrne Marston (b.January 12, 1931, N.Y.C,) painted in oils and watercolors for many years, more intently after retiring in 2000 after a long career in medicine. He has been associated with The Cape School of Art since the 1980’s where he learned color theory by taking many workshops and by association with artist-friends in the Provincetown art community. An avid artist throughout his life, Byrne enjoyed these workshops with noted artists and honed his craft of plein air painting, capturing the light and landscapes of Florida, Cape Cod and France. His water color and oil paintings have been exhibited in galleries in Tampa, St. Petersburg and on Cape Cod in Provincetown.
