Since 1986, she has been involved in  learning, teaching and producing art and craft, as well as leading large  group rituals and ceremonies including Celtic nature based Solstice and  Equinox celebrations and rites-of-passage processes for women in  transitions. She considers the synthesis of all of her work to be  creating ritual theater, as past time that is truly a calling for her.   In addition she has a clothing and accessories business, Carmella D\u2019Oro  and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carmelladoro.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">carmelladoro.com<\/a> which also features the works of light.<\/p>\n<p>Her media includes chalk pastel painting, sacred hand painted silk  ceremonial clothing as well as watercolor designs and most recently,  colored art pencil mandalas. Her work is informed by forty years of  personal work in Bioenergetics as well as extensive experience with S.  Keleman\u2019s Somatic Process Work.  Extensive metaphysical study has also  influenced her art, especially archetypal and transpersonal readings.   Shamanic experience has been an additional stream of artistic  inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>Carmella has written extensively about the visionary art process,  especially about the healing process derived from this path, both  personal and planetary.  A document revealing the details of the healing  journey is available upon request.  The poetry that was inspired during  this journey can be found on the called \u201cwritings\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Her philosophy includes a commitment to being a medial healing force,  bringing healing images from the invisible world as well as facilitating  this process in others. Her inspiration is found in a deep and abiding  relationship with the natural forces, animals, plants, stars and a keen  interest in the beauty of sacred geometry as a symbolic path of healing.<\/p>\n<p>Born in California and raised in Hawaii gave her the gift of color, a  feature of her art that she considers the most healing.  The vibration  of intense color gives her work a vibrancy that is bold and striking and  can affect the viewer in a healing way. The totality of her work is  based on the intuitive inner eye, and  the revelation of the Soul is her  goal \u2013 the process is the most important part of the artistic journey.<\/p>\n<p>Love and light!
