Art And Oysters

Mark Uzmann earned an MFA (2002) while teaching psychology at the Savannah College of Art and Design. He has also taught photography at the College. He has received awards for his work, including Best of Show (1997) at Arts on the River, a yearly juried event in Savannah, Georgia, and a Special Merit Award the following year in the same overall competition. In 2007, two of Mark’s photographs were accepted into the permanent collection of the Telfair Museums of Art. Traditionally, Mark Uzmann has been most concerned with developing a visual conservation of the South as a region, as a kind of a psycho social phenomenon found nowhere else, and so to say, no when else. That being said, his photographic interests are varied, and he has several projects he works on at any given time.
