Introducing artist Hannah Oram

Bio

From the artist.

I am an Exeter-based artist, and I paint to connect people with the brighter side of life. My colourful, expressive acrylic works are filled with the energy and passion I feel for each scene or sentiment, inviting you to share in the fun and positive spirit behind them. Before becoming a full-time artist, I spent 17 years working as an NHS doctor. Then five years ago, I could no longer ignore the desire to paint and express my ideas and so I jumped ship and immersed myself in the creative world. Although very different from medicine, I still bring my passion for wellbeing and for connecting with others into everything I create. This exhibition celebrates the simple pleasures that unfold around the table — sharing a cuppa and a catch-up with a friend, enjoying a quiet moment alone to recharge, or placing fresh flowers in a room to lift the day. I believe these small rituals add poetry to everyday life, and I paint them as joyful reminders that the most meaningful moments are often the simplest ones.
