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.

Betsy Scheld (1963-1996)

Betsy Scheld was an energetic young illustrator who worked in New York and contributed to INX until January 1996, when at the age of 32 she died from spinal meningitis.

She received a BFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. In 1990, she was awarded a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Art Institute of Chicago, Her work appeared in a variety of popular publications such as The Village Voice and The Sacramento Bee, as well as The New York Times and Newsday, In addition, she illustrated two children’s books, several CD covers, billboards, and numerous book jackets, one of which received the prestigious Tiffany Award,

Betsy Scheld’s artwork is a vivid reminder of her personality, She was known for her laughter, her sense of originality, and her love of art. Her use of bright colors and frenzied lines express the energetic pace at which she went about her work and life. She expressed the humor she saw in the problems of everyday life by using disproportionate figures and skewed perspectives. She had a spirited defiance of what most people considered normal. Her taste in fashion and view of social expectations usually went against mainstream norms. These themes are reflected in her artwork, as she often drew humans with three eyeballs or green skin and kangaroos sporting red shoes.

Betsy Scheld also had a serious side reflected in her work. Some of her illustrations confront issues such as homelessness, AIDS, and other problems associated with city life, She was also concerned with discrimination against women. She considered her feminist point of view an important aspect of her art. Having experienced difficult times in her life, she strongly identified with others who struggled. Her work often expressed the distress of victims in a stark and sometimes disturbing manner.

The members of the Scheld family are pleased that Betsy Scheld’s illustrations are being exhibited in Poland. Two of her grandparents were first generation Americans from immigrant families who left Poland for New York in the early 1900s. At family gatherings, many personal stories were told of the challenges and triumphs of the Kaminski family, and of the Polish immigrant in New York City in general. This cultural heritage formed an important part of Betsy Scheld’s social identity. She would have felt a great sense of accomplishment and pride to have her artwork displayed in Poland today.

Jill Karla Schwarz

Like many of the other artists in INX, Jill Karla Schwarz has done a lot of illustrations for The New York Times. These were in the days before e-mail, when the artist had to actually show up to get the job, deliver it, and sometimes even complete or correct the illustration on any empty desk or drawing board she could find. The results were that many of artists got to know each other pretty well. The first core group of INX artists was born from these friendships. She wasn't part of the birthing, but she was one of the first new artists asked to join INX and she felt deeply honored. Most of the illustrations she was asked to do for other publications tended to be pretty things and subjects; INX provided an opportunity to show another side of her illustration work and she loved doing it.Over the years she has done illustrations for many publications, such as Time and The Washington Post. She has also produced book covers, children’s books and comic book art for DC Comics. Her main love has always been fantasy and political art. The last few years, she has been able to combine this love in her on-line comic book, Attention Deficit Girl.
