Ann Gamble

Biography of Ann (Frelford) Gamble

My name is Ann Gamble and I am married with a family and live in a village near Swindon.

Related to the famous poet James Hogg, it is therefore, unsurprising that I am a writer as

well as being known primarily as a PORTRAIT ARTIST. My commissioned portraits include

both those of PEOPLE AND OF ANIMALS. I work mainly from photographs taken with a

specialised artists camera for portrait work. My work also includes FLOWERS AND

SCENERY such as Avebury, Stonehenge and local places of interest. Love of art and the

desire to draw and paint that which I see around me has been with me since I can first

remember and I was consequently sent to Art College, part time, at the age of 14 and I was

later only too happy to return to art again after several years as a tutor and trainer.

My most frequentlyused medium for my portrait work is pastels, for ease of expression,

although I do have a broad spectrum including water based oils (which I often like to use for

flower painting), watercolours and coloured inks.

To sum up, I love what I do and the pleasure that it gives to satisfied clients.
