Kim Levin ALASKA Exhibit at the Monmouth County Library in Shrewsbury

Stunning photographs by Kim Levin of the dramatic Alaskan landscape and the people and dogs who call Alaska home will be on display at the Eastern Branch Library in Shrewsbury throughout the month of November.

Levin, a photographer who specializes in pet portraiture, took the images on a recent “once in a lifetime” trip to Alaska. She focused many of the photographs on what she calls the state treasure of Alaska – the huskies that run the grueling 1,049 mile Iditarod race every winter.

Meet Levin at a reception at the Eastern Branch Library on Thursday, November 13 at 6 p.m. and view her exhibit. The Library is located at 1001 Route 35 in Shrewsbury 07702, and the exhibit is open daily through November during regular library hours.

Her company, Kim Levin Photography, combines her passion for photography and her love of animals. Levin has published 19 books including the best-selling Cattitude and Why We Love Dogs. Her books have sold more than a half million copies and have been published in eight languages.

Levin’s images have been licensed throughout the world on calendars, fine art prints, cocktail napkins, journals, and easel books. She has licenses with Calypso Cards, Image Conscious, PPD, Sharper Cards, Brownlow Gifts and Hi-Look Inc. Her greeting card and gift product line Molly&Fig™ appears in gift and stationary stores throughout the U.S.

Levin’s work has appeared in People Magazine, Reader’s Digest, The New York Daily News, New York Post, Photo District News, Italian Elle, Modern Dog, Bark Magazine, Chicago and Jersey Tails, The American Kennel Club Gazette, NJ Monthly and New Jersey Life, as well as online sites msnbc.com, ivillage.com, and pamperedpet.com.

In addition to animal portraiture, Levin has photographed families and children for many years. A passionate advocate of animal adoption, Levin has been donating her photography services and supported the MCSPCA, The ASPCA, and local rescue organizations for many years.
