Ann Ross RSW

Ann Ross RSW was born and lives in Edinburgh and studied at Edinburgh College of Art. She is inspired by the world around her, at home and when travelling. Her work has been inspired by these journeys, the architecture, weather and landscape, as well as gardens and garden wildlife.

Ann exhibits regularly throughout the UK. She is a professional member of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour and the Society of Scottish Artists. She has won many awards for her work.

‘I try to recall special moments of light, colour, pattern or shape in the world around me wherever I happen to be and try to fix those details in my mind and in sketchbooks. I use these drawings and recalled memories to make images in my studio using different waterbased media, painted assemblage and collaged ephemera.

This last few years I have spent much time working, watching and listening in gardens and many of these recent works are visual memories of special moments involving the garden plants and visiting wildlife.’
