Interior, 1986

<p>Ann Oram was born in London in 1956. She studied at Edinburgh College of Art between 1976 and 1982 and became a part-time lecturer at the College in the 80s and 90s. She was elected a member of the RSW in 1986.</p> <p>Ann Oram’s first exhibitions with The Gallery were exotic, rich urban landscapes: buildings familiar and foreign invested with character and mystery. Her subjects range around Scotland, in France, Italy and Spain and she continues to paint the interior with still life; flowers both cut and gathered, objects collected, like Anne Redpath before her, from her travels and a keen eye for shape and form.</p> <p>Today she works from her home and studio in the Scottish Borders, and it is here that she looks to the landscape changing with the seasons for inspiration.</p>
