Bio

Mary Louise is a fine art photographer who draws inspiration from a variety of visual arts to produce photographs often described as “painterly”. For the past 25 years, she has traveled the world in search of her favorite subjects – landscapes, nature close-ups, interesting architectural details and abstracts.

Mary Louise’s photography is in private, university and corporate collections in over 40 states and is exhibited nationally through art shows, galleries and shops. Her images have been used in calendars, magazines, books and websites including the National Parks Magazine and various projects with National Geographic maps. In 2020 she was awarded the distinction of “Master Artisan in Fine Art Photography” by the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen, in recognition of achievement in the three benchmarks of excellence in craftsmanship, resolved design and unique voice.

Mary Louise has been a speaker at photography conferences and is a regular competition judge and speaker for photography clubs from the Carolinas to the Royal Photographic Society in England. She enjoys teaching photography at all levels and leads online and in-person classes, as well as photography workshops. For more information visit her website  www.BellaVistaPhotography.com.
