Mary Doran Photographer:
Mary has been a resident of Yonkers for decades.
She has lived near the Hudson River all of her life. She began taking photographs when there were still flash cubes on top of cameras lol. While she takes photos of family and friends she mainly focuses on landscapes as she was influenced by the bucolic themes of the Hudson River School of Painting when in high school.
She visits Westchester Parks and Gardens every week as there is an abundance of everchanging beauty just waiting to be discovered within fifteen minutes of our doorstep in any direction we go. Mary loves taking photos of nature in all seasons and is inspired by rivers, ponds, oceans, beaches, and lakes as well as trees, flowers, birds, sunsets and the weather. There is a sunset everyday but each is its own work of art. Mary believes that landscape photos beckon the individual to become happily enveloped and daydream about the moment in time the photo evokes.
Mary was an Assistant Principal and educator in the Bronx for 35 years and was an avid supporter of Arts and Wellness in the Schools. She has a B.A. in English from the College of Mount Saint Vincent, a Masters in Elementary Education from Lehman College and a Masters in Supervision and Administration from Manhattan College.
Mary looks forward to travelling and seeing more landscapes that emotionally move her to photograph and create memories.
