Ann Oram

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.

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.

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.
