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.
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.
Rituals provide the impetus for Jude Wainwright’s work. A Manchester-based artist, her paintings explore repetition and habit: the empowerment and sense of control they create, alongside their capacity to teach and enable growth. Drawn from dreams and flashes of thought, Wainwright uses self portraiture to reconnect with herself.
