NOMINATED FOR A PUSHCART PRIZE
December 2022 Honored and humbled to learn that my story "My Extraordinary Mom" that was published by Flapper Press, has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize!! I don't even know what to say. I bet my mom is grinning ear to ear. I'll keep you posted. Fingers crossed. What is a Pushcart Prize? Here you go.... The Pushcart Prize: Best of the Small Presses series, published every year since 1976, is the most honored literary project in America - including Highest Honors from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Since 1976, hundreds of presses and thousands of writers of short stories, poetry and essays have been represented in our annual collections. Each year most of the writers and many of the presses are new to the series. Every volume contains an index of past selections, plus lists of outstanding presses with addresses. The Pushcart Prize has been a labor of love and independent spirits since its founding. It is one of the last surviving literary co-ops from the 60's and 70's. Our legacy is assured by donations to our Fellowships endowment. |
CANVASREBEL Online Magazine Artist Spotlight - Meet Kim Carr
|
October 2022
Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Kim Carr. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation; we’ve shared it below. Kim, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Going back to the beginning – how did you come up with the idea in the first place? in 2014 I was still a newbie in the world of professional photography. I had started out selling my photography on notecards out of the back of my pickup truck at the local Farmers Market and other small venue’s. I was given the opportunity to participate in the Saint Louis Art Fairs Emerging Artists as Entrepreneurs program. The two-year program allowed me to see the inside workings of a major art show and what all it entails to put your art out into the world in a very public event. This program was like an intensive college course for me in the business of art marketing. By the second year I was allowed to show and sell my art alongside top tier artists from around the country and some artists traveled from other countries. The Saint Louis Art Fair is consistently ranked as one of the top ten art shows in the nation, racking up awards year after year. Read more here... Meet Kim Carr - CanvasRebel Magazine |

2021 VoyageSTL: Rising Star Spotlight
I never turn down an opportunity to share about my heritage breed photo project. When I was asked by VoyageSTL to do an interview for their online magazie, I jumped at the chance. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to keep my photo project in the lime light as I continue to visit and spotlight small Missouri farmers that are making a difference in the world by caring for rare breeds of livestock and poultry. Many of these farmers are doing what they can to prevent extinction of these farm animals, enhance our bio-diversity, improve our land, air, water and other natural resources by being good stewards and conservationist.
