Meet the Artist
Cass Barron
Artist • Presenter
Jenny Muncaster is a professional artist, presenter and experienced creative educator known for her vibrant, energetic approach to colour, acrylic painting and mixed media.
A graduate of Winchester School of Art with a BA (Hons) in Printed Textiles, Jenny has developed a distinctive style combining bold colour, expressive mark-making and playful mixed-media techniques. Her paintings have been exhibited and sold internationally, with commissions ranging from private collections to work for hotels, restaurants and commercial spaces.
Alongside her studio practice, Jenny is passionate about making art accessible and building creative confidence. She runs workshops, demonstrations and artist-in-residence sessions in schools and colleges across the UK, sharing practical, process-led techniques that encourage experimentation and help participants develop ideas without being afraid of getting things ‘wrong’.
Jenny works from The Colour Factory Studios and Gallery in Winchester, a creative studio community she established in 1994, and regularly teaches painting, printmaking, sketchbook and mixed-media techniques.
Her enthusiastic and approachable teaching style makes her workshops particularly valuable for art educators looking to refresh their own creative practice, discover adaptable classroom techniques and return to their students full of new ideas and inspiration.
My aim is always to help you loosen up, let go of perfection, and discover your own artistic voice.
