Win is a renowned artist in her own right, critically acclaimed for the `Plein Air' style, otherwise known as `art of painting directly from nature'. This `on scene' style has become Win's signature and whether she paints landscapes, seascapes or people in natural settings, it is her talent to capture the essence of the moment. Successful in both vocations, Win Henstock is a woman of talent and passion, who founded her first gallery in Laguna Beach, California in 1994. Over the years, Win has studied with some of the most prestigious artists in California, as well as the great John Yardley with whom she studies alongside every summer when she returns to her place of birth, Britain.
