Ann Hulme studied at Stoke-on-Trent College of Art followed by a BA in Fine Art at Leicester Polytechnic. She has been a part-time lecturer and tutor at colleges in Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire, giving her as much time as possible to paint.

Ann says: ‘I like to work with the idea of time passing, painting change. You can change atmosphere through paint – a colour can move an eye, a hand and a gesture can change the meaning. I like ambiguity. Sometimes you know what you are doing, you can sometimes verbalise what a painting or a series is about at the surface, but underneath where does it come from, why are you interested in it – that’s the intriguing part, we don’t know’.
