I am a self-taught photographer and long term resident of Gerrans on the Roseland, Cornwall UK.
As a freelance West Briton photo-journalist for several years, my work has documented all manner of news,
events and life situations on the Roseland.
Locally my photos have been used in publications such as “The Book of St Mawes – Pilots, Pilchards and Politics“ (published in 2007 by
Halsgrove), and “The Book of Gerrans and Portscatho – from Churchtown to Lugger’s End” (published 2008 by Halsgrove).
Nationally and Internationally my photography has been seen in several publications,
been used for cd covers and has inspired and been used by artists, poets and writers world wide.
“Not unlike the work of contemporary photographers such as Martin Parr,
Mary Alice somehow manages to capture contrasting elements of both movement and stillness in compositions
which - on the surface - have the familiarity of a snapshot, but which in fact include more formal resolutions
involved in the complex dynamics and aesthetics of photography "
Mac Dunlop m.f.a. Poetry Editor, Cornish World Magazine Embark:Ferry Art Exhibitor, 2008
" If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography,
it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence,
as though I had forgotten to wake up "
