Announcing...the Parks for Peace Race!!!!

Please help us create leaders of the future!
We want to inspire art around the world
as seen through the eyes of children.

Please help support this cause.

The first International Peace Park
will be created and designed by children!

Parks for Peace International, a non-profit group, is an organization dedicated to creating monumental sculpture peace parks with and for underprivileged children, allowing their voices to be heard and shared with their communities and the world. The first park will be in Florida and then will expand to other states and eventually other countries - nurturing the talent of the leaders of tomorrow, awarding the best of them with educational trips, art supplies, art scholarships and helping to make their dreams a reality.

NEW SCULPTURE COMPLETED!!!

 

Nina just completed 

"A River Runs Through It" for a collector in Colorado.

The sculpture was commissioned as a gift for the collector's husband, who is a fly fisherman.

The title was borrowed from one of his favorite movies, "A River Runs Through It".

The sculpture measures 15 ½" high by 4 ft. of sculpted "river" in length.  

It incorporates an actual model of a fly fishing pole, as well as an authentic fly.

The angler is caught in the moment of hooking the fish, which is abstractly in the shape of a heart.

The stones were collected from the "Frying Pan" - the collector's husband's favorite river. 

Great News!!

New Award!!

My sculpture "Freedom Angel" won 2nd place award 
in the June 2014 Patriotic/Freedom art competition, 
held by the Contemporary Art Gallery Online!!!

Publicity!

Recently Nina has had the pleasure of being contacted by the team over at KOJewel.com to have an article written on her and her sculptures.

Here is what they had to say!
You can also visit the article here

"The larger than life characters Nina Winters molds and shapes capture power, beauty and grace. Superheroes, angels, The Child King of the Known and Unknown Universes or eternal dreamers tell us stories of bravery, resilience and love. The Le Marseillaise inspired Liberte, with her bright, sanguine patina and intricate wings; the sweet, embracing couple that rests atop a heart shaped stele engraved with A Love Poem, by Elizabeth Barrett Browning or the eternal dreamer that still sees hope in this star while the world is cracking under him in So, What Now?, all her figures are highlighted by the subtle nuances she achieves and the restraint of her color palette. Ms. Winters studied at the College of Fine Arts and Architecture at Cornell University, the School of Visual Arts and Parsons School of Design. While she began her career in the field of paint and color, her travels and nature inspired her create monumental sculptures. Her awards winning works have been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world. Her most recent commissions included a 7′ x 9′ “Galactic Samurai” for the Senior Vice President of Pepsico and a 16 1/2′, stainless steel “Eternity” for the city of Kirov, Russia."

New Commissioned Sculpture

The last couple of weeks Nina has been working on a commissioned sculpture of a fly fisherman. It is called "A River Runs Through It" (which is the favorite movie of the collector's husband).

Countless hours of detailing to perfection and the sculpture is well on it's way to being completed.

We are so excited about this new piece in Nina's collection that we are sharing some pictures of the process. This is the piece in clay before it gets sent out to the foundry for the wax and mold making and the casting process.

To see Nina's full line of sculptures visit her website.

New Installation

NEW INSTALLATION!!

Nina recently had the pleasure of sending out "The Littlest Mermaid" to a collector in Hawaii!

The collector has installed Nina's sculpture by her pool and has just commissioned Nina for a second sculpture to put on the other side of her pool.

She has graciously taken a gorgeous photo of the sculpture in her new home to share with us :)
