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."

".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

"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."
