About Faith Bemiss

Faith Bemiss, an award winning fine art photographer, is a native of Sedalia, Missouri. With a love for the outdoors, she began her career by targeting national gardening magazines. Her first published piece became the cover of a newly formed national gardening magazine titled, “Birds and Blooms,” published by the former Reiman Publications, now Reader's Digest Milwaukee. Since that time her work has appeared in several national and regional magazines including "Flower and Garden," "Missouri Life," "National Gardening," "The Ozarks Mountaineer," "Victoria" and "The Lake Magazine."

She continues to have work published inside and on the cover of “Birds and Blooms” and RDA Milwaukee's several sister magazines; “Birds and Blooms Extra,” “Country Discoveries,” “Country Woman” and “Country.”

She is a Juried member of the Best of Missouri Hands artisans association, an active member of the Sedalia Visual Arts Association and the Sedalia Area Chamber of Commerce. She was co-owner of a local art gallery, Art Impressions from 2000–2008. She also enjoys volunteering her time in the spring to teach photography to the local Cloverleaf 4-H Club.
    
Also, a freelance writer, she is regular contributor to “The Lake Magazine” and food writer for “The Sedalia Democrat” newspaper.
    

Her award winning fine art photography has been juried into many national shows across the country. A limited edition print, “Neon Diner,” is in the collection of the Farmington Museum, Farmington, N.M. as well as the private collection of Michael and Ramelle Pulitzer, Winston Salem, N.C.

In 2008 her black and white photo titled "Egg Bearer," won second place in its category, in the Louisville Art Association National Juried Photography Show, in Louisville, Co.

In 2007 two pieces from her new fine dining series "Bon Vivant" were juried into a national art show at the Farmington Museum, Farmington, NM, and in an international art show at the San Diego Art Institute.

Best of show was awarded to her black and white infrared photo titled, “Pastoral” at the 2006 Sedalia Visual Arts Summer View Show. And in the professional Fine Arts division of the 2006 Missouri State Fair her photo, “Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness Area—Arizona” received an honorable mention.
    
She and her husband Roy travel together during out-of-state photo shoots. Together they enjoy rising early and hiking the canyons and desert areas of Utah and Arizona. A spiritual person, Faith enjoys the solitude and quietness of nature, especially the red rock canyons and narrow slot canyons of Utah and the poetic rock formations of the Vermilion Cliff Wilderness Area of Southern Utah and Northern Arizona.
