Redin Winter

Redin Winter is a visual artist based in San Diego, California, whose work explores interior landscapes shaped by embodiment, memory, and emotional resonance. Her practice emerges from a multidisciplinary background spanning performance, scholarship, and lived experience, bringing a depth of inquiry to the painted surface.

Winter did not arrive at painting through a traditional visual arts trajectory. She spent her early career in theater—working as a performer, running a performing arts center, and later signing with Wilhelmina Models—living between stages, studios, and photo sets.
