Elephant in Red with Two Mahouts
Ann Shrager's medium is oil paint which, once diluted with turps, behaves like watercolour. She draws her composition first and if it fails she will then paint a different painting on top; this means that there can sometimes be as many as four paintings - one on top of the other.
Having studied at both the Byam Shaw School of Art (1967-70) and also the Royal Academy Schools (Post Graduate diploma 1970-73), Ann was subsequently elected as a member of The New English Art Club in 1975.
