Mary Wintour

Mary studied Painting and Printmaking at the Glasgow School of Art where she received a BA in Fine Art. She went on to train at the Slade School of Fine Art where she completed her Masters Degree and was awarded the Graham Robertson Travel Scholarship. She was selected for The Creekside Open, Griffin Art Prize, Scottish New contemporaries and the Griffin Art Prize and has exhibited in Galleries across the UK. Mary has an active practice along side her teaching. Although primarily painting, she continues to work across a range of media, and is drawn to making composite works from individual elements. A decided fan of a high/low culture tryst, her work proposes both humour and sincerity, seeking to find the divine in the everyday. Examples of her work can be seen at www.marywintour.co.uk
