"A Diary of Healing" photo exhibit
Along with photojournalist-friend, Christopher Capozziello, Mary Ann began documenting her journey of chemotherapy, mastectomy and reconstruction, having been unable to find a resource that could provide the powerful imagery she sought to help her through this difficult time.
Creating this groundbreaking series of images, "A Diary of Healing" will help educate, comfort, and ultimately, empower women diagnosed with cancer, as well as those that love them.
"A Diary of Healing" is a 48-picture exhibit and is also available as a digital presentation.
If your organization is interested in hosting or sponsoring an exhibition, please contact Christopher Capozziello directly at exhibits@chriscappy.com.
To book Mary Ann as a speaker in conjunction with this exhibit, please contact The Johnston Agency at 203.838.6188.
