About

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 will be exhibited in the 22nd, 23rd and 25th Julia Margaret Cameron Award for Women Photographers at Fotonostrum Gallery in Barcelona, Spain in 2025. Her newest body of work, “Nature Embroidered”, was one of the projects featured in All About Photo Magazine’s Nature issue in September 2023. As the recipient of the Juror's Award for Trees at A Smith Gallery, her embroidered images were included in a solo online exhibition.
She received the Denis Diderot Artist-in-Residence grant at Chateau Orquevaux, France, in 2021 and received 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 while traveling around France and photographing new things.
Ms. Cope has been awarded an artist residency at Hambidge Center for Creative Arts and Sciences in March 2025 and the Williams Family Distinguished Fellowship. Upcoming in April 2025 are solo exhibitions of her embroidered photographs at Southeastern Quilt and Textile Museum and Blue Heron Nature Preserve in August 2025.
