Artist
Over the past four decades, Carolyn has created an extensive and diverse body of paintings and drawings, ranging in style from romantic figurative to abstract. In her language of symbolic imagery, Carolyn expresses the passions of the human heart and a pantheistic reverence for the wilderness she inhabits. Carolyn’s art is featured internationally in galleries, museums, private collections, multimedia presentations and at the Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum located at California State University Long Beach.

The Alchemy of possibillity
Author
Carolyn is the author of twenty-five books, a variety of which are used as inspirational texts in universities and healing centers. She is featured along with the writings of seven other acclaimed woman writers in a continuing course, “The Other Half of the Sky: Eight Woman Writers,” at Swansea University in Wales. Her first book, Climates of the Mind, was translated into Braille by the Library of Congress. Carolyn’s writings have been translated into over fifteen languages, and three of her publications are available in bilingual and trilingual editions, published internationally.
Poet
A passion for creative expression and a lifelong fascination with spiritual transformation have ignited Carolyn to become an award-winning poet. She writes philosophically, in the tradition of romantic poets who seek to express divine love in erotic, ecstatic, and intimate terms. Her poetry echoes the whispers of nature and illuminates the path toward spiritual transformation. Carolyn’s poetry and prose has been nominated for several awards, including The Pushcart Prize. In addition to her poems being featured in numerous journals and anthologies internationally, Carolyn is world renowned for her poetry books, most of which include her art.
