Maryanne's first one-woman exhibit, "Road to Napflio," was shown at New York City's Grant Gallery during April 2004. The photographic exhibit displayed 50 images captured during the "Halcyon Days" of January 2001, as she traveled throughout the Greek mainland and islands. "I wanted my images to capture the amazing history of this beautiful country which is embodied in the face of the landscape and the people of Greece," says Russell. These images are supplemented by Russell's portraits of Greek Americans, photographed in New York, at the request of her curator.

This solo exhibit is a first for Maryanne who has shown her work in many of the prestigious galleries of New York. In recent years, Maryanne's work has been featured at the Chelsea Art Museum, the Lobet Gallery and at the flagship store of Sephora. Here, her work was featured alongside that of her mentor and former Time Inc. colleague Alfred Eisenstaedt. "The Road to Nafplio" represents another milestone for our gallery," states Tatiana Grant, President of the Grant Gallery. "Her work is both poignant and breathtaking, her images speak volumes."
