Born in Catford, England, Carolyn grew up in southern California, where she studied art and psychology at UCLA. In 1980 she moved to her cliff-side home high above the Pacific Ocean in Big Sur, where she studies, writes, and paints amidst the surrounding wilderness. A passion for creative expression and a lifelong fascination with spiritual transformation have propelled Carolyn to become an award-winning poet, writer, and artist. She is the author of twenty-five books, a variety of which are used as inspirational texts in universities and healing centers, and are 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. Carolyn’s poems have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize. Her first book, Climates of the Mind, was translated into Braille by the Library of Congress. Her writings have been translated into over 15 languages, and two of her publications are available in bilingual and trilingual editions, and published internationally. Over the past three 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. The Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art at Pepperdine University exhibited a retrospective of Carolyn’s paintings and drawings in 2008 and published a catalog, Carolyn Mary Kleefeld: Visions from Big Sur, with commentary by Michael Zakian, PhD, curator and director. Carolyn’s art is featured internationally in galleries, museums, private collections, and multimedia presentations. Carolyn’s art and literary archive are permanently housed at the Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum at California State University, Long Beach, which opened in February 2022.
