Aloha Calley,

I’m thrilled to read about your Kona Airport mural project. You inspire me with your unwavering lifelong commitment to the Mother and all her inhabitants!  

I send you wishes for love and peace always 🌺   Betsy

Calley's public art projects include two previous and one  commission from the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts.  In 2013 and 2016 she created murals at Kipapa Elementary School on Oahu, and Pukalani Elementary School on Maui.  At present, she is in the beginning phases of a 300' stained glass mosaic and multi-media mural at Kona at Keohole  Airport.

Visit her Public Art page to learn more about these and other projects.
Calley is happy to create stunning works of art to grace your home or office.
"The greatest pleasure of working with artist Calley O’Neil, is twofold. One is her artistic quality & the other is creative design. Both meld together to formulate the most stunning art imaginable. To watch or experience Calley “in action”, from inception to completion is also phenomenal."
 Calley has devoted many years to the development and teaching of her magical Full Body Elixir, which is a daily practice that is a combination of Yoga, Tai Chi and movement/dance/meditation. 

I met her around 20 years ago on a business trip while staying at the Orchid Ritz Carlton on the Big Island. Since I took that first class, our lives have intersected regularly for practice and connection. 

A few years ago she was my guest in Alaska, and many of you met her as we hung out in Anchorage, traveled through Girdwood and Homer and went out to Stillpoint Lodge for lunch.


Calley has also had the dream to create a gigantic mural at the Kona airport that reflects the beautiful history and culture of the area and the local people, and that greats guests, both locals and visitors, with reverence and aloha. I'm so damn proud of this mighty little woman because this seemly overwhelming task is rolling forward! You can see from the photos below that she’s making significant progress.

​During these challenging days of Covid and Napa Valley fires, when sudden bad news, unexpected heartbreak and shocking developments seem to be a daily event, I want to celebrate some good news with you. We all love Hawaii and can’t wait to return there. My sweet sister yogini Calley is making a difference in our world and let's celebrate her!!

Next summer Calley intends to return to Anchorage and we will set up some outdoor Full Body Elixir practices and a weekend retreat to celebrate her return. Let me know if you are interested! text.
Calley,
Just a quick note to say how much joy it brings me to see your mural photos. The project is unbelievable in scale and beauty and technical expertise. What a pinnacle showcase of your many talents, determination, heart centered approach to all.  
I just showed them to my sweetie Morgan— “wow, Mom!”
  (can you believe he’s 18?? I remember thinking Noa was suddenly a man and how did that happen??). 
Anyway, you’re amazing. Absolutely amazing. Keep going. You’re unstoppable and such an inspiration.  
Much love. 
Tanya. 

I am just in awe!!! 
I, too feel like I have been to church! 

 I just finished viewing the entire video, and I am overwhelmed, absolutely overwhelmed! I took notes and I shall watch it again. I learned so much and don't even know how to put it into words--- starting with the Saint Francis of Assisi stained glass(St Francis was my father's favorite Saint), the wildlife, the Mandelas, the Hawaiian Madonna, and Rama the elephant - - - painting with him!  the Rama exhibition in Hilo! I'd love to see it! 

Calley working with children as she did, the Biodiversity Chapel... There's just so much!    Jane Goodall and Edward O. Wilson! Amazing. 

I love Calley's many quotes, particularly about everything we say do purchase, etc. MATTERS. 

 Much appreciation and love,
Laura


Dearest Calley,
 I was so blessed to catch your magnificent presentation yesterday. It was absolutely fabulous. You are such a remarkable woman and your work is glorious. I really felt that I was witnessing genius in action by your repertoire of work. I’m so happy that I get to call you my dear friend.
Looking forward to seeing you soon. As soon as Restrictions lesson up we’re heading to Kona. In the meantime sending you lots of love.

Saw the mural today my dear… Breathtaking!
It's magnificent! Epic.
I'm so I'm awe of you my friend.
Sending lots of love.
Keep calm and carry on,
Diane


This is great progress Calley!! I am so excited to see how much progress you are making. Indeed it is a monumental work of art!!!

Sending you much gratitude and aloha for all that you are doing!

Keep up The Great Work!

Much Love
Ana

WOW, this is so fantastic! and when i take my family back to the Kona airport on March 4th, i'll make a point of spending some time taking in this extraordinary glass mural....ei carumba!  

Besides her artistry, the technical, engineering aspects of the process alone are super impressive. What viewers see is the just the tip of a very large iceberg, and having done large work in public places myself, i find the entire process from design to installation intensely fascinating. PLUS, I can't get over the shots of her in white pants! If i was doing the project, there'd be goop and grime all over me. Looks to me that she came out clean...which is a noteworthy feat in itself!

Wow, Calley, this is GREAT news and the mural work is beautiful!! Mahalo!! Thank you for sharing, and thank you also for your inspiring solstice/new year’s mssg. I am going to seek out your website in hopes that you may be posting some there.

Also, thank you for the specific mssg about the Montreal UN Biodiversity accords to preserve 30 % of all land and ocean – it came and went on the news and it is too easy to move on to more news and then forget; but the universe tells us that we speak it into reality. SO BE IT!!! Let the salvation of lands and waters come into being, and into reality as the human race perceives it! 

Aloha!
Much love,
Lisa

Hello, I am here at the Hilton resort with my best friend. Yesterday we passed your beautiful Three Graces painting and I was mesmerized. This led to me looking you up online and all I can say is, WOW. I have been a student of yoga for over 30 years and through recent life changes I have been experiencing deeper and deeper enlightenment. I have just spent three delightful hours down the rabbit hole of your website. Your energy is everything I strive to embody and I wanted to reach out to you in reverent thanks and appreciation. The art, the yoga, the lifestyle... all of it. I am very interested in your Elixir approach and maybe you can advise me the best way to begin? DVD or live practice? I live in Santa Cruz CA just 5 minutes from my own kind of beach.... anyway thank you again for the gift of YOU. I am completely transformed and energized through your work. PS. I brought sketching and painting supplies on this trip too : ) inspired does not begin to describe it.

Much love and admiration,
Kat

Holy shoots love!  Just saw your update email and am sooooo impressed!!!  Where are you doing most of the work, at your place?

I'm off-island but would love to help when I get back.  I have experience with mosaic and I also used to do design/build/installs of custom architectural metal pieces.

Your project is looking incredible!!!  Thank you so much for sending the update.

Aloha Calley & Julia,

Thanks so much for providing an update to this awe-inspiring work; it is grand beyond what I ever imagined! I believe this work will be the most magnificent, significant public artwork for sure, in any public facility in the state of Hawaii. Why? It’s all about the mo’olelo.

  It’s the story of the simple folk who carry the wisdom and aloha of our ancestors and share unconditionally. These lyrics below are in the song made famous our beloved kupuna Don Ho. For all his renown he was a simple man.  

“Many different people come to Hawaii

But how many leave never knowing nothing more than the sands of Waikiki Beach

or the excitement of a luau or the atmosphere of a beach hotel.

How many visitors leave never knowing US, the Hawaiian folk. It's said that we are simple folk, perhaps that's true. 

Maybe it's because we know how to live and enjoy living. Maybe it's because we have found that basic things in life are simple

like the sun and the stars, like plain, wonderful, simple folk...”

These images of volunteers; yes volunteers working on the intricate details is moving, humbling; we are truly grateful.

I’ve forwarded your message with link to the DOT Director and Administrator.  They will be pleased to know of the progress.

Mahalo piha. E hoʻomau me ka holomua kupaianaha!

Hi Calley. Thank you so much for including me and Stan on this email update to your airport mural. We are the couple you sat next to on the airplane from Kona to Oakland last year. We are just so in awe of your ability to put your thoughts of preserving the Hawaiian culture into this gorgeous Kona airport mural. We’d love to continue receiving future updates to this project. You are so awesome.!
