HIAWYN ORAM is a children’s author who paints. She went into art back to front, starting at the end with sculpture at the Mary Ward and moving towards the beginning through many hours of Life Drawing to landscapes, interiors, abstracts as well as her big fascination… jugs, bottles and jars. She uses oils, acrylic, charcoal, conté and pastels, occasionally all in one painting, responding to the stories she sees in shape and colour and in hard lines accommodating the relenting curves of a round-cornered world.
