For health reasons, Frederick Stymetz Lamb came to the San Francisco Bay Area at age 59. He made Berkeley his home and had a summer residence along the Mendocino Coast in Fort Bragg. He received his art training at the Art Student's League (ASL) in New York where he studied with William Sartain and James Caroll Beckwith, and at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris with Lefebvre and Boulanger. In New York, he was known as a muralist and stained-glass designer, and was involved in Architectural preservation. He exhibited his works at the World's Columbian Expo in Chicago in 1893, received a gold medal at the Atlanta Expo of 1895, and won a medal at the Paris Expo in 1900. He designed windows in the Church of the Messiah in New York and Plymouth Church in Brooklyn. He died in Fort Bragg in 1928.
