As the daughter of a World War II military photographer, Mary Atwood grew up
with a camera in hand. Her earliest memories of taking photographs are of
using a Kodak Brownie when she was six years old. Ms. Atwood was the
recipient of the prestigious Community Foundation for Northeast Florida's Art
Ventures grant in 2011, has done commissioned work for MOCA Jacksonville,
and was invited by the Sister Cities organization of Nantes, France to exhibit
her First Coast Reflections project as part of the inaugural celebration for la
Maison des Etates-Unis (the American House) during the summer of 2013.
Her photographs have been exhibited in galleries, museums and public art
venues, with a total of sixteen solo shows in the last two years alone. To date,
her works have won more than fifty awards in local, regional and national
juried exhibitions, and has been included in numerous corporate, public, and
private collections.
