Artist Spotlight Mary Bedy

Mary has spent over three decades wandering with her camera, capturing the beauty and essence of the world around her. Her portfolio is a testament to her insatiable curiosity and keen eye for detail, whether it's the delicate buds in a forest, expansive panoramic landscapes, captivating old buildings, or serene snowy woods.

Her dedication to photography has been recognised on numerous occasions, exemplified by her photograph of Fort Michilimackinac gracing the cover of Michigan History magazine in December 2015. As a lifelong Michigander, Mary's collection proudly showcases the picturesque shorelines of Michigan, the majestic Freighters navigating the Great Lakes, and iconic landmarks like Mackinac Island, Belle Isle, and Greenfield Village.

Mary's talent extends beyond state borders, with her work also featured prominently in 'Our Magnificent Planet', a prestigious publication by Lenswork Publications. Selected in both July 2020 and 2021, her photographs were chosen from thousands of entries, highlighting her ability to capture the awe-inspiring beauty of our planet's landscapes and natural wonders.

Having explored many of America's national parks, Mary's portfolio offers a rich tapestry of these preserved landscapes, each photograph a testament to her deep appreciation for nature's splendour.

Regularly updating her collection with new work, Mary invites visitors to explore her evolving portfolio, promising something to captivate every viewer. She takes pride in the authenticity of her artistry, affirming that none of her photographs, drawings, or paintings have been created or edited using artificial intelligence software—only traditional photo editing tools have been employed.

Mary's artistry invites you to immerse yourself in the beauty of the natural world through her lens, each image telling a story of its own.

I love Mary's ability to capture the small details of nature or architecture and make them into something special. Her eye for shadows and textures. I like her images with a minimalist feel too.
Congratulations on your Artist Spotlight feature Mary!

Mary must have been a salty pirate or a seafaring mariner in a previous life... because she still hangs out at the docks... lol

My wife and I have had the good fortune to spend an afternoon with Mary on two occasions. In addition to being a wonderful photographer, she is a wonderful person.

Thank you, guys!

 

Mary, congratulations on your recognition. From both an artistic and philosophical perspective I appreciate your decision to go with minimal editing of photos and the presentation of photos as reality.

Presentation wise I want to also say you have one of the best organized and labeled "Collections".

I like that you have a collection "Marbles" and I am very impressed that today your Freighters collection has 4,168 images. 4,168 !!!

You have to be one of the world's most prolific and dedicated photographers of Freighters .......if I had in real life ever been a stowaway on a Freighter I would come to you to find a photo of it.

Thanks, Gary, Drew and Shelli!

Gary, I'm blessed to live where the freighters regularly pass by. Thus the fact that I have a tracker on my phone - the river is only 1/4 mile from my house.
