Titled Into the Garden, the exhibition opens on Saturday, June 6, and features works inspired by gardens, wildflowers and the changing seasons.
The collection includes paintings of wildflowers from the Borders and Berwickshire, blossoms influenced by a visit to Kew Gardens and a selection of the artist’s signature still-life works.
Ms Oram paints daily from her studio in the Scottish Borders and has built a career spanning almost five decades.
Born in London in 1956, she grew up in the Highlands before studying at Edinburgh College of Art, where she later became a member of the teaching staff.
Her work has been exhibited widely both in the UK and internationally, including solo exhibitions at galleries in Edinburgh, London and Vienna.
Alongside Ms Oram’s work, the exhibition will also feature paintings by fellow artists including Kate Bentley RSW, Jacqueline Orr RSW PAI, Mhairi McGregor RSW PAI, Jenny Martin RSW, Jennifer Irvine RSW RGI and Lorna Sinclair.
Ann Oram said: “Gardens are my sanctuary and my studio.
“I love the element of surprise, the seasons dictate what I find, and I love what that gives me.
“I love still life, and painting things that are in front of me.
“I still get excited about the materials, working with watercolour, gouache, acrylic and oil, and I love colour.
“I knew from quite a young age that I wanted to paint, and I’ve been painting pretty much my whole life.
“It’s quite a privilege because not everyone gets that opportunity.”
Eileadh Swan, director of Morningside Gallery, said: “After exhibiting Ann’s paintings for many years, we are delighted to celebrate her 70th birthday year with this special exhibition.
“Flowers and gardens are synonymous with Ann and she brings the subject matter to life so beautifully on the canvas.”
