Artist’s Statement - PhotoGraphic Artistry by Heather J. Kirk - 'God has chosen and gifted me to feature some of His greatest work!'

With a focus on bright florals and black and white (including sepia) landscapes, fine art photographer Heather J. Kirk listens to the subject, letting it guide her to where to bring her focus, where to draw in closer for gorgeous detail or portraits or nature.


Whether the image is of a person a flower or a landscape, how does one determine what is art and what is something 'anyone' could do? It depends on the ability of a piece of art to move you, to make you feel, and to help you remember.


Artist’s Bio - Heather J. Kirk

Takings risks, accepting and even choosing change, and the importance of individuality and self expression play major roles in Heather Kirk’s personal history. Heather holds a strange conglomeration of degrees, including Business, Spanish, and Social Work. She lasted only 9 months in retail, but 12 years as a drug and violence Prevention Specialist working with children. Her most exciting work involved a summer program two years running called Students With Voice that she created, and a colleague helped to implement, with high risk students. The children danced, sang, created in various art mediums, learned from guest artists, visited studios, listened to writers on tape, recorded their own poetry on tape then typed them into the computer, submitted to “Kids of Color “Magazine (several published), and taught each other extremely short grammar lessons. The program received a Teacher Venture Arizona grant for the 1996 program, and based on the improvements in students’ behavior and reading skills, was awarded an Honorary Mention at Teacher Venture’s 1997 Morton J. Newell Awards program.

Heather has been taking pictures and writing poetry and essays for years, but is now pursuing a career using her artistic talents. Her work receives an interested and welcome response to the uniqueness and to the sometimes hidden/sometimes in-your-face messages.

Unable to decide where exactly to focus, Heather Kirk jumps between poetry, photography, digital art and music. Just for fun, she often combines them all into one art event. A recent exhibition sums up her life philosophy, 'The Beauty of Purpose'. We were each created for a wonderful reason, and when we live out that purpose (or at least try to figure it out), there is a beauty in the way we touch each other's lives and souls, even when the context of this world and our problems tend to raise their ugly heads.

Ms. Kirk addresses the contrast of pain and beauty in both her literature and art. Her essays and poems have been published in The Bible Advocate, Inglis House Anthology of Poems of Disability, Bibliophilous, Chicken Soup for the Latino Soul, Conversely.com and her own book of poetry titled 'We...a spirit seeking harmony for a world that's out of sync'.
