Ann Oram RSW
“I am painter of Still Life, Landscape and Architecture. Largely known for my use of colour, and working with mixed media and oil.
I have been travelling to Italy these past two years, but have recently returned from a trip to India- where the colour and the landscape are about to make an impact on how I work.”
Ann Oram paints the landscape and flowers around her studio and her native Scotland in vibrant watercolours.
Floral arrangements and interiors are also a favoured subject as well as the warm tones of her Spanish Landscapes and architectural paintings.
