Oscar winning cinematographer Vilmos Zigmond features the internationally recognized, award-winning transformational artist, poet, and writer Carolyn Mary Kleefed in his documentary about the natural wonder and creative residents of Big Sur, California. This transformational artist who has been on the leading edge of consciousness culture for most of her adult life will celebrate her life’s work and rarely-exhibited paintings with an upcoming Retrospective Show in Big Sur, California on Friday, December 5th.
A colleague of such cutting-edge thinkers as Timothy Leary, Allen Ginsberg, Terence McKenna and Stanley Krippner, her esteemed works of art can be found in the private collections of Ted Turner, the estate of Laura Archera Huxley, George & Peggy Ann DiCaprio, and the United Nations, as well as in galleries, museums, and other venues around the world, including The Dylan Thomas Theater in Swansea, Wales. Her books are also used in healing centers internationally.
Kleefeld is featured in university classes alongside other acclaimed writers such as Maya Angelou, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Aeronwy Thomas, and has influenced far reaches of the world with her nineteen books, many of which have been published in several languages, including Arabic, Bengali, Braille, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Romanian.
On Friday, December 5th, 2014, the Gallery at Ventana Inn in Big Sur, California, will hold a retrospective show for Ms. Kleefeld, in celebration of her life-long career and achievements. The show will feature 24 abstract paintings from the Artist’s private collection for the first time in over 20 years.
The opening reception will also feature Kleefeld reading a selection of her latest poetry, including poems from Kleefeld’s latest book, The Divine Kiss, a collection of poetry and paintings, which expresses the sacred merging of love into the realm of the Beloved, manifesting and celebrating the Divine. She will be accompanied by musician Martin Shears. To attend this special event, click here.
Kleefeld will also be available to sign many of her other publications, including The Alchemy of Possibility: Reinventing Your Personal Mythology, a rich tapestry of philosophical prose, poetry, and visionary paintings, and Psyche of Mirrors: A Promenade of Portraits, of which the late Laura Archera Huxley writes, “In Psyche of Mirrors, we find ourselves traveling through portraits that open the gates to our experiential understanding and offer surprising paths to our complex and fantastic inner worlds.”

"A Brave New World" is unarguably a literary classic. It's studied in schools, hailed as visionary, and still holds up as a good read to this day. Its author, Aldous Huxley, was a noted public intellectual, critic of mainstream culture, and a man who eventually went on to experiment with psychedelic drugs. Huxley on Huxley is a more personal look at the man through the lens of his second wife, Laura Huxley. The documentary combines interviews with her with archival footage and conversations with many of the couple's friends and family to paint a portrait of his life both at home and as an intellectual in his later years. Fans of his work or those with a particular interest in his personal life will find this fascinating.
The documentary begins on an old black and white photo of the couple, and goes on from there to give us some background on who exactly Laura is.
