Mary Ann Reilly
Profile
I am a fine arts photographer and author born in Dublin, Ireland and raised in New Jersey. My areas of specialty include black & white, landscape, portrait, and collage. Art is about perspective and the capacity to recognize what has been present often without knowing. Photography allows me the occasion to recast the familiar in new cloth, resituate understanding, and unsettle certainties.
My work has been selected for national and international juried shows, awarded honors, including several Best in Shows, and has been exhibited in galleries in Manhattan as well as galleries in California, Colorado, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Additionally, several photographs have been published in F-Stop, Dark Sky Magazine, Honey Land Review, Wild Violet, In the Mist, English Journal, and Life Images and others have served as cover art for books.
