Myrtie Cope has been focusing on nature, landscape, and architectural photography since graduating from the photography program at Rocky Mountain School of Photography in 2008. She is honored to have photos in several private and public collections around Atlanta including the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport and Emory University Hospital Tower. She has won numerous awards for her work which has been widely exhibited throughout the United States and internationally. Her winning images have been exhibited in the Julia Margaret Cameron Award for Women Photographers at Fotonostrum Gallery in Barcelona, Spain, multiple times. Her body of work, "Nature Embroidered", was one of the projects featured in All About Photo Magazine's Nature issue in September 2023. Ms. Cope received the Denis Diderot Artist-in-Residence grant at Chateau Orquevaux, France, in 2021 and was awarded a second residency at Atelier AIR in Dangeau, France in 2023. The residencies allowed her to focus on and refine her work and experiment with new techniques as well as traveling around France for photography. In 2024, Ms. Cope was awarded the Williams Family Distinguished Fellowship in Photography for an artist residency at Hambidge Center for Creative Arts and Sciences where she continued her work in embroidered photographs.
