About Kathleen Carr 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." Jim Alinder says about her work, "Often Kathleen's pictures are ethereal journeys to places of beauty. She may take us on a walk through her neighborhood, a hike into the woods, or on a distant voyage. Her pictures are intimate interactions, quiet conversations shared."
Kathleen T. Carr is a fine art photographer, author and teacher. She received her B.F.A. (cum laude) in Photography from Ohio University in 1970. She then studied photography with Minor White at his home in Arlington, Massachusetts. Minor's work had a strong influence on Kathleen's visual perception and approach to photography. She subsequently worked for Aperture, a fine photography quarterly and book publisher.
After spending seven years at the Findhorn Community in Scotland, creating audio-visual programs, multi-media shows, publicity materials and books (including The Findhorn Garden, Harper & Row, 1975, Faces of Findhorn, Harper & Row, 1980, and The Findhorn Family Cookbook, by Kay Lynne Sherman, Shambhala, 1981), Kathleen was staff photographer for the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California. She started and owns Carr Classics, a fine photography card company that showcases her Big Sur photography. In 1988 she moved to Sebastopol, California, where she lived for 19 years while spending winters in Hawaii. In 2006 she moved to Hawaii full-time, where she leads photography tours, workshops and retreats.
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 Décor (featured artist). Her most recent 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. Both books provide illustrated procedures and many dynamic examples of creative techniques by the author and over twenty transfer artists. An earlier book (with co-author Dorothy Maclean) To Honor the Earth: Reflections on Living in Harmony with Nature, (HarperSanFrancisco, 1991, Spanish and Japanese, 1997) features her color landscape and nature photography from around the world.
