Ann Oram was born in London in 1956. She studied art from 1976-82 at Edinburgh College of Art. During her time at art college Ann won a number of awards including: Carnegie Travelling Scholarship in 1980; Andrew Grant Award and the Largo award in 1981. After graduating she spent time teaching at the Edinburgh College of Art painting school and her career has included several lectureships in art schools

In 1986 Ann Oram was elected a member of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour (RSW). Her paintings are now in numerous art collections including: Bank of Scotland; Credit Lyonnais; Edinburgh University; Standard Life and Heriott-Watt University

Like so many present day Scottish artists Ann Oram has been influenced by paintings from the Scottish Colourists. As an art student she marvelled at the Cadell portraits and the Peploe Still Life and Iona landscapes. The art works of Hunter and Fergusson with their bold expressive Still life paintings were also a recurring attraction.

Ann Oram continues the rich tradition of Scottish colourists. The work reflects her travels, and includes Still Life, Architecture, Landscape and Flowers. Working in mixed media, oil and watercolour, Ann's art work is colourful, with great swathes of colour, ranging from the transparent to the textured. Her paintings have a real vibrancy and there is an obvious love for the Scottish landscape and plant life. She skillfully captures the ever changing colours of the natural world and the on-going evolution of plants in their native habitat.

Although Ann Oram produces paintings of Still Life and Mediterranean views much of Ann Oram's current paintings feature the fields and plants around her home in Scotland. She often finds inspiration from the Cow Parsley and other assorted wild flowers and seed heads that are at the edges of the fields just minutes from her art studio.
