DANDELION My House Chicken
Published January 2023 My first FULL FLEDGE book!! A true story for animal lovers of all ages. It is all about my pet chicken Dandelion, her friend Buttercup, and life in and out of the house. Every page features a full color illustration utilizing my photos. Little ones will love the pics and older kids will enjoy the story. It is full of educational tid bits too! Can you imagine what it would be like to have a pet chicken in your house? What do they like to eat? Are they neat housemates or messy? Are they quiet at night? It is one thing to have a pet cat or dog in the house, but a pet CHICKEN?! Join me as I take you on grand adventures around the farm with Dandelion and her duckling best friend, Buttercup. This fun and educational journey follows Dandelion and Buttercup from hatchlings to adulthood, shows us what it’s like to live on a farm, and how Dandelion manages to live INSIDE the house with my mom, me, the dogs and cats! A chicken biography for those who love to read real-life stories! |

BOOKS

Step-by-Step: A Collection of Small Farmers' Success Stories by Innovative Small Farmers' Outreach Program / Lincoln University Cooperative Extension
Photography by Kim Carr
This book is a collection of stories about the small farms and farmers in Missouri that Lincoln University Cooperative Extension's (LUCE) Innovative Small Farmers' Outreach Program (ISFOP) staff worked with during 2011 and 2012.
Inside you will find amazing producers who found purpose and made a sacrifice to nourish the people of their local communities. The stories are written by the ISFOP FOWs who are themselves small farmers, or have a considerable farm background, and live in the communities where they work.
As a hobby farmer myself, I had a great connection to this project. Having the opportunity to travel around Missouri to photograph these incredible farmers gave me a greater appreciation for the life I live. Sometimes you have to step out of your own bubble to see the big picture, the photographing of these farmers for this book allowed me to do just that. It was an honor to meet these fine folks and a project that I greatly enjoyed.

INTERPRETATIONS I - 2013
INTERPRETATIONS II - 2014
Interpretations III - 2015
Interpretations IV - 2016
Columbia Art League

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.
