Testimonials to Carolyn's Art
"Not since William Blake has an artist so brilliantly captured
the realm of ecstatic vision as Carolyn Kleefeld has, and she is
the first, to my mind to do it from a feminine perspective. Carolyn
is one of those few artists who successfully expresses the ineffable
worlds of the invisible. Mixing the awe-inspiring vision of powerful
inner experience with the thunderous beauty of nature, Carolyn creates
a completely unique supernatural world with her vibrant paintings,
that is nothing short of magical."
David Jay Brown, M.A. Author of
Brainchild and co-author of Mavericks of the Mind
".the luminous paintings of Carolyn Kleefeld open the confined
space (of the gallery) into a series of brilliant energy scapes
reaching beyond the walls into a fairy vision of distant chromatic
worlds."
Dr.Oz Janiger, Professor Emeritus, U.C., Irvine
"Kleefeld's immense visual dexterity, combined with an acute
linguistic intelligence, permits a breadth of intuitive diversity
in her work that is unusual. Indeed, she uses pigment on canvas
or paper to suggest transmission and energy through a fragile and
subtly reduced image of "sign", which is "pre-linguistic.".The
underlying basis of Kleefeld's work, is, through the vehicle of
art, to conceive or remember that our connectedness with the world
is built into our very cells, and to "re-envision" the
foundation of
our being as coming from the universe."
Dale Richard McGear, Art Critic
"In her seductive courtship of transcendent beauty, Carolyn
Kleefeld's art provides a glimpse into the inner radiance of the
spirit. Here is an artist who reaches deep and stretches far to
share with us her exuberant joy in the process of unbridled self-expression.
Her paintings are eruptive and evocative, emanating the visual perfume
of spirituality. Fearless in her free application of color, Carolyn
is a faithful lover of the Art Muse, her work a testament to the
inner and outer Beauty that makes life worthwhile."
Daniel Kaufman, Artist, Literary Agent, Author of
Natural Sleep
"Carolyn Mary Kleefeld has put a brush to her poetry. With
a formidable burst of talent and energy, she has laid color to her
vision of nature and cosmos - boundless, innocent, chaotic yet constant,
essential, wondrous, evolving, transforming and renewing."
