Listed as a working member of the West Australian Society of Arts in 1896 but did not exhibit that year. She was the daughter or sister of William C. Owtram of Owtram and Purkis estate and insurance agents who arrived in Western Australia at the time of the gold rushes. Her paintings and May Creeth’s were used in an edition of the Western Mail in 1898.

In 1914 in Wise’s Post Office Directory Miss A. E. Owtram is listed under 'Teachers of Painting & Artists’ at Agett Road, Claremont, Western Australia which was also the residence of W. C. Owtram. A series of pictures of buildings such as The Barracks and St George’s Hall illustrated in The Colonial Eye by Barbara Chapman and marked ' E. A. O’ is probably by her. A number of artists arranged their initials in a type of cipher and this may have been how hers has been read.
