Early Life and Artistic Education

Born in Scotland, Ingram received his artistic training before 1880, when he began exhibiting his paintings at the Royal Academy of Arts. He also showcased his work at the Royal Society of British Artists and the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours in 1886.

Royal Society of British Artists and Fine Art Society

In the 1880s, Ingram played an active role in the Royal Society of British Artists. He became president of the Royal British Colonial Society of Artists, founded by Thomas Gotch, which also included many Newlyn School members.

Association with the Newlyn School

Meeting the Newlyn School artists, Ingram moved to a village near Newlyn. While influenced by the group's style, he specialized in marine paintings rather than genre scenes like the majority of the Newlyn School.

Solo Exhibition and Travels

In 1902, a new exhibition of Ingram's works was held at the Fine Art Society. Known for his travels, he founded the Anglo-Australian Society of Artists.

Later Career

Ingram joined the Royal Institute of Oil Painters in 1906 and the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours in 1907. He continued to exhibit his paintings throughout his career.
