Hello, I'm CJ H.

CJ Harding is a self taught artist who explores and creates with a mixture of media. She is relatively new to the art market because her career and passion was always in the entertainment world. After many years of touring stages​,​ she decided to take her love for painting and art to the next level. For the past several years she has been painting primarily with acrylics and natural pigments​,​ but also exploring watercolors and oils Besides painting​,​ she is an accomplished photographer and loves spending as much time in nature and she possibly can capturing stunning landscapes along with flora and fauna. Her love for nature inspires her art. Mystical creatures seem to come alive as she allows the paint to move in a natural flow. CJ was born in Savannah​,​ Georgia​,​ but left the south in her early twenties for the southwest area. She fell in love with the desert and rock formations where the a Anasazi once lived. She backpacked every National Park in the west with her young son which led her to buy eighty acres of land in northern California to live self sufficiently. After a decade of this amazing experience​,​ she moved to Vancouver​,​ BC and began a career in the theatre and movie business. Ms Harding successfully created a costume designing business for the entertainment industry. Always the artist and entrepreneur​,​ CJ wrote and created her own show; "Sweet Dreams" A Patsy Cline Tribute and toured the show for twenty-five years. It wasn't until she retired the show​,​ that she decided to devote more energy and time to her art. While allowing her muse to guide her work​,​ she does not allow limits to dictate her art. It is free and unbridled. Welcome to the World of CJ Harding - Art Stirs The Soul http://www.cjharding.com
