CJ Worlein specializes in portraits created with artist-grade colored pencil, and strives to capture not only the likeness of her subjects, but their personality and spirit as well.

A multiple award-winning artist, CJ works on a commission basis and is happy to discuss the costs and options of engaging her services.

In comparison to art created using more traditional media, the art of colored pencil is still in its infancy, and has only recently found its way into galleries, museums, and international exhibitions. Colored pencils are translucent, so instead of a single color, you see as many as 10 layers of color, creating rich, complex hues.

CJ is a member of the Colored Pencil Society of America (CPSA), an international organization of dedicated, talented colored pencil artists who love and promote the versatility and beauty of this art medium.

She is currently membership director of the national CPSA organization. From 2008 to 2011, she was president of CPSA Portland District Chapter 201, which serves Oregon and Southwest Washington.
