Madeleine Winch is an accomplished and esteemed Australian artist who has exhibited both nationally and internationally, with more than 40 solo exhibitions across her three-decade career. Her work is held in the National Gallery of Victoria and is represented in several public collections, including Orange Regional Gallery, Wagga Wagga Regional Gallery, NERAM, Dubbo Regional Gallery, and Macquarie University. Winch has been a finalist in many of Australia’s most prestigious art awards, including the Archibald Prize (2017), the Sulman Prize (1995), the Dobell Drawing Award (1993, 2000), the Portia Geach Memorial Award (1996, 1997, 2004, 2008), the Doug Moran National Portrait Prize (2016, 2021, 2022), and the Salon des Refusés (2019). She was the winner of the Kedumba Drawing Award in 2004.

Among the various genres she explores, Winch often returns to the humble kitchen table as a recurring subject. She is drawn to simple, everyday objects - kitchen utensils, fresh fruit, and vegetables gathered from her local market - finding enduring appeal in their forms and bold colours. Many of these items come from her personal collection and carry particular memories, while others are imagined purely for their compositional value.

Winch finds joy in the act of making: composing, selecting colour, adding and subtracting elements until the painting gradually reveals itself. Her process embraces a sense of play, allowing endless possibilities to unfold within each work.
