C.J. Winters is a self taught artist who has been creating original pieces of work for many years. Her artwork is expressed through the use of vibrant colors and her unique style of texturing and layering. CJ finds her main inspiration from the music she listens to at the time the piece is being created. The lyrics, the beat, the sound is captured through her own translation onto the canvas allowing a direct connection to occur.

The desire to also capture the look of nature in its raw elements also delves deep from within and is communicated. A piece of metal that is covered in rust, a rock that has been broken and weathered revealing its many faucets of color and texture, paint peeling off an old dilapidated building. To CJ, the imperfections that occur naturally become perfection through her view and the need to recreate her own interpretation of these elements is what provokes and arouses her self expression.
