Inspired by the vintage objects she collects; Jane Winton conjures fanciful characters in a whimsical world that is reminiscent of childhood fairy tales but with a uniquely fresh perspective.

Living in Cornwall, Winton immerses herself in a world of beauty and art where she’s able to build her surroundings, creating narrative around her accumulation of antique treasures. Collaging these found objects, Winton’s paintings emerge as quaint artefacts that intertwine nostalgia and contemporary art.

It’s clear to see Winton’s love for American folk art within the simplistic stylings of her work. The doll like features of her figures evoke further sense of American influence, being akin to Margaret Keane’s big doe-eyed children. The charming characters of her paintings are perfectly placed within manicured gardens often surrounded by creatures drawn in a similarly eccentric fashion.

Whilst her paintings are naive, their charm comes from Winton’s ability to convey symbolism and subtle humour with meticulous design and intricate pattern, drawing in audiences of all ages.
