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."

Samples of My Work

I wanted to share some samples of my work that are available for purchase.

This one is called The Child King of the Known and Unknown Universes:
I just sold a commission of him, as well as one of my Wearable Sculptures two days ago to a lovely collector from Los Angeles! The message with this piece is that innocence can sometimes rule with much brilliance.

 This sculpture is called The Galactic Samurai. I am currently working on a 6 ft. commission of him for a collector in Texas. I wanted to portray enormous strength in his stance.

Another of my pieces, called Ode to Venus. Circa 22,000 BC, during the Paleolithic Era, an artist created a fertility goddess called the "Venus of Willendorf". This is my homage to this artist of long ago.

This sculpture is called So, What Now? Even after all the destruction beneath him, he still sees hope in his star. Some people go along with the status quo, I wanted to show that something can always be done.

This one is called The One Who Learned to Fly. When my daughter was very young, I made her wings of fabric, and shortly realized that she believed that she could really fly. When she realized they weren't real wings, she began to cry. I told her then that one day, spiritually, or otherwise, she would fly. This is dedicated to her.

This one is called Maestro. He is conductor of the universe and the orchestra.

Before Time. Before time, before space, creating time and space. He is All. He is Nothing. He IS. Dragons are my guardians. I have them on the doors to my home and studio.


Earth Protector. She is one of my trinity of Galactic Heroes. Quietly she moves, the earth in her hand. Our problems are not as big as they seem. An environmental sculpture, she stands out in homes.
