Winifred Keenan-Kuplowsky is a visual artist who is known for her impressionistic oil paintings.
Born in Glasgow, Scotland, to Irish parents, Win moved to Canada with her family at a young age, where she grew up in the former village of Port Credit in Mississauga, Ontario.
After graduating from the University of Toronto and the Ontario College of Teachers, she pursued a visual arts education at the Ontario College of Art and Design, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and Studio West. In 2018-19 she was accepted to a two person mentorship with Keita Morimoto. She continues to embrace learning, finding inspiration daily in both solitary and communal practice.
Win recently placed third in the Colour and Form Members Competition 2024. She garnered an Honourable mention in the 2023 Open Juried Colour and Form Society and the People's Choice Award in the 9th International Juried Brush Off Competition 2023.
Win was awarded the John Mlacak Award for her work “Reeling and Healing” at the 8th Brush Off Competition in 2022, an international juried painting competition in support of Alzheimer’s awareness presented by Galerie Avenue Art in Montreal, Quebec. That same year, her “September Garden” placed first at the En Plein Air Competition held by the McMichael Gallery in Kleinburg, Ontario.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
I am a figurative painter who delights in capturing what is extraordinary in the ordinary. My artistic practice arises from interactions and encounters that provoke wonder and empathy.
I seek to capture gestures, moods, and environments in pencil or gouache, and translate such intuitive artistic expressions into oil paintings. My work is drawn from ephemeral moments of reflection, through which I strive to render a perspective of the world in all its uniqueness and singularity.
