ART, VISIONS AND POETRY BY GABRIELLE CINELLI

Gabrielle Cinelli was born and raised in Albuquerque New Mexico, beautiful mountain desert country. She came from three generations of artists, and was highly talented at an early age. Art simply was one of the ways that she communicated with the world. She continued to expand her artist talent through a Psychology /Fine Art double major in college at CSU in Colorado and at UNM in New Mexico and apprenticed with a few fine artists in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She had a clear understanding of the connection between art making and the psyche and what powerful tools, counceling and art could have in helping individuals heal, and return to a more, integrated, magical sense of wholeness. Gabrielle then relocated to the Big Island of Hawaii, after a health crisis intiated a complete change in her life direction, she heard very clear visions regarding her destiny and her dreams...."Return to the Garden" She traveled around the Big Island, painting†her visions and teaching and learning much from the land, Pele, and the Hawaiian culture for three years. Along her travels she gathered information for a vision that came to her during her health crisis. She had seen two people, in the vision these people were Adam and Eve, and she saw a small creative village, the Garden of Eden, beautiful hand made unique homes scattered organically along a hillside, the people that lived there were all craftsman, artists, musicians, architects, healers, there were gardens and sacred places, there were large theatres for shows and entertainment, there were new healthy technologies for energy, water, transportation, and there were many children that were loved and taught equally by all, life was lived interdependently among each other with the heavens and the earth. We've got to get "back to the garden" lyrics from an old Joni Mitchell song danced through her mind along her travels. And underneath the stark reality that our evening news often paints life as, Gabrielle began to view the magical side of her existence as being very real as well, the natives to the earth always knew this and created ways of communicating to their ancestors to the Great Spirt, to the Earth, and listened to the signs and creating intricate mythologies with their artwork, costume and story telling and rituals, their is a profound sacredness to all of life, and each of us is a part of this sacredness.

"Everybody has a dream, a feeling in their heart, visions, images of their destiny, of their GIFT to give to the world, it is my belief that each of these dreams is really who we are, not the limited self that our culture often teaches, but the magical self. It is my belief that our full potential as this magical self is more easily realized in a more natural setting of enjoyment and service in creative, interdependent communities and villages."

All the proceeds for Gabrielle's artwork goes towards†funding for creating and sustaining community projects around the world.......Returns to the Garden.

Gabrielle is currently teaching figurative classes and childrens art classes at DaSpace, as well as individual lessons.
