I am a natural light photographer specializing in "on location" pet
photography, farm portraits & special events of a rural-historical
theme. Serving mid-Missouri and surrounding areas. Please email me at kimmerhaw@yahoo.com to book your photo shoot.

I also offer my photography on canvas, prints and note cards. You may order from me directly or by visiting one of the fine retailers that carry my work. I sell both retail and wholesale while enjoying participation in local exhibits and shows. New in 2014, I have added a line of handmade greeting cards which highlight my rural images with a rustic, aged flavor. Sure to be a big hit with those who enjoy the country life as much as I do.

Check out the Fall 2013 Issue of The Arts Live online magazine. I'm honored to have my photography featured in the "Studio Visit" segment, page 30.

Beyond the Lens VIII: a Juried Photography Exhibition

Exhibition Dates: January 31 - March 6, 2014

I am very fortunate to have two pieces juried into this photographic art exhibit in which they received 141 entries. After the judges decisions, I'm happy to report that I am 1 of 32 artists who's work is represented in this show. My two pieces are "Eye of the Goose" pictured here and "Tranquility" which is a close up of wild rose bush I took this winter covered in ice. This is a wonderful exhibit and I hope you can visit the gallery on Main Street in St. Charles, MO. For more information please visit www.framations.com

Please Don’t Touch

January 14 – February 21, 2014

Please Don’t Touch is a multi-layered show, inviting artists to play on the seductive nature of the tactile and its power to evoke a visceral, sometimes involuntary response in the viewer. At a deeper level, the concept embraces the meaning of fragility, the frailty of the human condition, the natural world and unbreachable taboo.

I submitted just one piece for this juried exhibit....Mouse Trap. This is a very exciting show featuring all mediums. For more information please visit www.columbiaartleague.org

Interpretations
August 24-November 1, 2013

Interpretations: A marriage of 40 visual artists and 40 literary artists, each submitting one work of her/his own choice with any theme. Then, an
art swap: Each visual artist receives a work from one of the writers; each literary artist receives an artwork. The task for each artist and writer: to
create a second work of art or piece of writing, which is his or her interpretation of the other artist’s work. The result: A show of 80 artworks and
80 pieces of writing. The aim of the show: A reminder that we all see the world differently; our interpretations of the world around us are uniquely ours. How will each artist interpret the other artist’s work? How will the viewer interpret the written words and artworks in the show? Inspired by 2011’s captivating Hint Fiction exhibit, Interpretations revisits the nexus of the written and the visual.

Brow Tine - As seen in the Interpretations Exhibit and book at the Columbia Art League

UNTITLED POEM by Peg Crawford
Photo by Kim Carr

She stood beneath the maple tree and watched him moving in and out the barn, his breath in hoary gusts that swirled about her breaking limbs like antlers shed, exposing marrow to the cold, and picking clean the bones above her head.
He saw her, waved and stepped inside, the smell of straw and blood escaped. She knew the rake was there, beyond the hook, and tub that caught the steady drips below, that fell like autumn crimson pools on grass. She left the leaves to puddle under snow. Poem by Peg Crawford/Literary Artist

Prissy - As seen in the Interpretations Exhibit and book at the Columbia Art League

For Love by Peg Crawford 2013
Photo by Kim Carr

For love he let her pull the plow in tidy stitches through the soil made soft the day before by men in nameless muscled, diesel-drunk machines.

He followed, weathered hands on weathered
reins, and softly called a canzonet, the plowman’s serenade in dialect impatience rendered vain. He
stumbled, limping, grateful for the pace that matched his own with grace in declaration of the heart that pulled the blade across the field, and up and
down in easy plodding chase.

The earth below, the warming sun above, and him…his voice, for this she pulled the plow again, for love.

*Note: For this special event I was paired with Peg Crawford. She was juried in with an original poem in which I then photographed "Brow Tine" as my interpretation to her words. In exchange I was juried into the show with my photography of a mule called "Prissy." In response to my work, Peg wrote another original poem titled, "For Love."
Peg is both a visual and literary artist

Thirty six BOMH artists are demonstrating and selling their wares at the SDC Harvest Festival from September 13 – October 27th.
