Jude Wainwright - AMAFA
Jude Wainwright is an artist living and working in Manchester, having settled there after receiving a BA Hons in Fine Art from Manchester Metropolitan University in 2009.
Wainwright is currently based at AWOL studios in Ancoats and is also a member of the artist collective 'A Small Space', curated by Jen Orpin.
Her work has been commissioned by both commercial and private collectors throughout the UK, including commissions for television dramas and film.
Wainwright was named ‘Manc of The Month’ in November 2022 by Cotton On MCR and she reached the semi-final of Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year in 2022. Jude is also an associate member of the Manchester Academy of Fine Artists.
‘Self-portraiture frames the basis of my work, the result of dreams or flashes of thought. Like diary entries, the paintings serve as keep sakes, a space for reflection and rumination.’
