Kathleen Carr is one of Hawaii's many talented photographers, and from time to time she offers special courses and workshops. This November, she is going to hold a seven day photography workshop for women who would like to learn more about this art. For details and registration, see the info below.
Kathleen Thormod Carr is a fine art photographer, author and teacher. She received her B.F.A. (cum laude) in Photography from Ohio University in 1970. When awarded a National Endowment for the Arts Regional Fellowship in 1991, she further explored handcoloring black and white photography. Her fine art work has been widely exhibited at galleries and museums, and purchased for the Polaroid collection and other private collections.
Kathleen's photographs have been published internationally in numerous books and periodicals, including PhotoVision (featured artist), Outdoor Photographer (featured artist), National Geographic Traveler, Islands, Esquire and Decor (featured artist). Her last book, Polaroid Manipulations: A Complete Visual Guide to Creating SX-70, Transfer, and Digital Prints (Amphoto Books, September 2002), is a companion volume to Polaroid Transfers: A Complete Visual Guide to Creating Image and Emulsion Transfers (Amphoto Books, 1997), which has sold over 30,000 copies.
Kathleen takes a fresh look at the world around her and translates her vision and felt experience into her photographic work. Whatever photographic medium she works in, her photography speaks to the viewer on emotional and spiritual levels. In her own words, "I am fascinated by the energy I sense within the forms I am photographing. Using a variety of techniques, I experiment with ways to express this presence more tangibly. Caring deeply about nature, especially when I see such environmental destruction in the world, I want my photography to inspire people to honor the earth and all who live upon it."
