Art Brokerage: C.J. Wells American Artist: CJ Wells is a Santa Fe artist and poet of Native AmerÂiÂcan and HisÂpanic AmerÂiÂcan descent. Her paintÂings often reflect her SpanÂish and AmerÂiÂcan Indian herÂitage. Her porÂtraits of AmerÂiÂcan Indian warÂriors and childern often depict her subÂjects with glowÂing yelÂlow eyes sigÂniÂfyÂing traÂdiÂtional respect for the holiÂness of the Earth and animals. As TAOS MagÂaÂzine states, Well's paintÂings present a fasÂciÂnatÂing conÂtrast between the solemn faces of her subÂjects and the lush color and detail that surÂround them. Her images have an abstract, timeÂless qualÂity. The warÂriors are set against dark backÂgrounds or cloudy skies, and their yelÂlow eyes seem to gaze out beyond the viewer. They appear to be lisÂtenÂing to an inner voice or conÂtemÂplatÂing the past. Each one is an eleÂgant, arisÂtoÂcratic presÂence surÂrounded by mysÂtery and drama. CJ also creÂates poetry that relates to her works and is inspired by them. The poems come from deep within me, she says. They give voice to the penÂsive figÂures of the paintÂings in hauntÂing, othÂerÂwordly verse. Her stuÂdio can be found these days in Santa Fe, but Wells spent fourÂteen years in ScottsÂdale before returnÂing to Santa Fe in 2001 at the time of her father's death. She says she has come to stay. CurÂrently sinÂgle, the mother of two grown chilÂdren (a daughÂter and a son) and with four grandÂchilÂdren, she finds herÂself in a posiÂtion to purÂsue her art withÂout restriction.original oil paintings wanted.
