Giora Carmi
Giora Carmi was born in Israel. His parents were idealists and pioneers who devoted their lives to creating a beautiful society and life. It did not work so well and Giora learned from the idealism and from its failure. He looked for a better way to create beauty in the world.
He became a graphic designer and illustrator for many companies in Israel, and he designed over 200 book covers. He also did illustrations for magazines and wrote and illustrated for children.
Carmi came to the United States at age 40 and worked for The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal on a regular basis. He published more than 40 children's books and won a few national awards when a meditation practice began to shine a new light on his life. He decided to turn his attention to helping free people from suffering and became an art therapist. He has since worked with the mentally ill, addicted prisoners, troubled adolescents and traumatized people of all ages.
His whole life experience came together to originate a new method of working with art that seeks to connect people to their natural development. He calls this approach The Art of Life, and he has started to present it to his colleagues in conferences around the world.
Carmi considers INX to be an island of relative sanity from which members look at the madness of humanity with a kind of love that expresses itself as bitter laughter.
He has received awards from the Society of Publication Designers, Communication Arts and the Art Directors Club. His work has appeared in exhibitions at Galerie Petron, Pau, France, Matsuda Gallery, Tokyo, Japan and the Newport Art Museum, RI. Some of his illustration clients have included The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Le Monde, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Time, Newsweek, Encyclopedia Britannica, United Nations Development Program, American Express and Mercedes Benz.
