Jane Winkelman

Jane Winkelman

Jane Winkelman is a painter, and is considered to be an outsider artist. Her paintings are often signed "Jane 'in vain' Winkelman."

She was born in 1949 in Long Island, New York. She lived for a time in Miami as well as San Francisco. While in San Francisco, she lived on the edge of homelessness in the Tenderloin district. She was introduced to painting at the Hospitality House, a free community arts center.

In 1993, after her work had gained some attention at group shows and on the cover of the Street Sheet, she was commissioned to produce an Absolut Vodka ad.

Her work is characterized by vivid colors, fantastic figures, and strong political commentary. They often include text as well as images. Her style has been compared to that of Hieronymous Bosch, Marc Chagall, and Edvard Munch.
