KEN KASHIAN...40 YEARS & COUNTING-Selected Overview

Ken Kashian has been a professional photographer for 40 years. In 1975 he earned a Master of Science in Art from Illinois State University, specializing in painting, drawing and performance art. In 2015 he retired as Director of Photographic Services from the Illinois Farm Bureau. For more than 34 years, he traveled thousands of miles along country roads throughout Illinois, exploring and photographing rural landscapes and the local people and their culture.

In 2018 Kashian published a handmade, artist book "Panoramic Tree Portraits". It is an accordion bound book, and includes a handmade case. He has recently produced a new artist book "This Moment…in Sarah’s Garden". It is about Sarah Davis and her flower garden at the David Davis Mansion, Bloomington. This project contains multiple parts: accordion bound book, booklet, art print, California Poppy seed packet, and a case. It includes poems by Kathleen Kirk, an essay by Marcia Young, quotes from Davis family letters researched by Pat Schley, and my photographs.

Previous publications: Along the Mackinaw River, includes his photographs and poems written by 13 poets (trade publication version), and a limited edition version, featuring poems by Bill Morgan and Kirstin Hotelling Zona
