Welcome to the website of London based artist Willow Winston.
Willow Winston took a B.A. in Fine Art/Painting and a Postgraduate Diploma in Printmaking, winning the Stowells Trophy for Printmaking, a national prize, while at the Central College of Art & Design in the 1970s, where her main tutors were Cecil Collins and Norman Ackroyd. She has taught in several American Universities and in a range of institutions in the U.K. from primary schools to adult education, including Central Saint Martins and the Royal Academy Schools.
Her art has been exhibited on both sides of the Atlantic, where her work is in collections and museums including the V & A. She illustrated the ‘Tao te Ching’ with wood engravings for Unwin Paperbacks [reprinted four times 1984-89] and several books of poetry for the Menard Press. In the 1980s she regularly worked as a theatre designer in Spain as well as designing for Theatre de Complicite in the U.K. Two decades of working relatively traditionally as painter/printmaker, together with a decade of experimental theatre design, form the foundations of her contemporary work in sculpture, installation and book art.
