Ann Dunlop Alexander was born on 16th March 1896, the daughter of Robert Alexander, a school master. She was a pupil at Glasgow High School and attended The Glasgow School of Art as a day student between 1915 and 1919, taking classes in life drawing and drawing and painting, including classes in drawing animals and costumes. She was an able student and was awarded the Robert Hart bursary of £10 in 1917, and gained her Diploma from The Glasgow School of Art in 1919. She worked in a variety of different media producing black and white drawings, water colours, lino prints and wood cuts.
