Winbury creates abstract paintings and colleges. She merges her training as an artist seamlessly with her background as a psychologist. Her paintings are psychological, complex and about issues of the human condition. A recent series focuses on childhood memory and the meaning of memory. Her work invites the viewer to slow down from a plugged-in work, to contemplate and find themselves in the work. Her collages are playful, using negative space and repurposing her own work into something new.

Winbury was a painting resident at the School of Visual Arts, Manhattan, had a visual arts fellowship from the Bau Foundation in Italy, received a grant for an artist residency/exchange in Arad, Israel and recently participated in a residency at Edgewood Farms at Castle Hill, Truro, Ma.
