Prior to opening Mistress Augustine’s Restaurant Ann Oliver worked as a scientific illustrator and graphic artist. For full details of this period of Oliver’s practice refer to biography – prior

Art and many crafts have always have always been part of Oliver’s art practice. The State and National Library have collections of her hand painted menus that were made for special dinners at Mistress Augustine’s. Particularly sought after were her Bastille Day menus.

Despite an incredibly busy schedule running Mistress Augustine’s Ann continued to paint and most of these paintings were sold from the walls of the restaurant, the most famous of which was sold during a grand prix. ‘Trashed at Stars’ was much sought after and selling it had always been resisted; finally succumbing the owner was decided with the last toss of a coin.

Oliver has a diploma in Advertising and Design, from the then South Australian School of Art.

Oliver is also a keen seamstress and laughs that “at eleven I had my own fashion label and wanted to be a fashion designer and artist….what the hell went wrong!”
