Not having had the opportunity to study art as a youngster Lady Ann Fraser went to Edinburgh College of Art in the 1980s as a mature student for four years to study Drawing and Painting. Having completed the course, where you were not encouraged to choose botanical subjects, she went to do a general course in watercolour painting at the Royal Edinburgh Botanical Garden with John Mooney and Paul Nesbit.
She had her first solo Exhibition in London in London in 1991 at The Malcolm Innes Gallery and since then has exhibited widely in Scotland and London. Her work features in 'Contemporary Botanical Art' by Shirley Sherwood and is represented in many private collections. In May 2019 she had her third solo Exhibition at The Rountree Tryon Gallery in Petworth and St. James's, London. She has been awarded a Silver, a Silver Gilt and a Gold Medal by the Royal Horticultural Society.
