John Winch

  (1944-2007)

John Winch was a sculptor, printmaker, painter, author and illustrator. He had more than 80 one-man exhibitions and is featured in many Australian galleries, in museums in New York and Paris, in university collections and public and government buildings, including Parliament House, Canberra. His work has been extensively exhibited at the Orange Regional Art Gallery, NSW.

He has been a finalist in the Sulman, Wynne and Dobell prizes. His awards include the New England Art Museum Painting Prize and the 2000 Kedumba Drawing Award for an intriguing collection of large illustrated envelopes stamped and posted in Paris to himself in Australia.

John Winch married Madeleine, a fellow artist and daughter of the prominent ballet and opera orchestra conductor Eric Clapham. The couple travelled widely, sometimes in a Kombi van, living for months in Spain and Portugal. Together, they discovered the tiny town of Ironbarks – the site of Banjo Paterson’s poem – now known as Stuart Town, in central western NSW. They bought the old general store, which they turned into working studios. Then they set up their country residence as the Stuart Town Studios, where developing artists could work.
