About Molly

Molly is a self taught artist, only ever having once taken a beginners watercolor class at her neighborhood art center. She began painting more seriously after having, what the doctors describe as, a neurological event that left her with debilitating symptoms. As a result, being in front of screens, like computers and phones, became increasingly difficult, as well as many other daily activities, so she began to work in new and tactile ways in order to adapt, which brought her deeper into the exploration of art.

She has previously worked in the film & television industry in Atlanta and Los Angeles, as well as the nonprofit sector. Creativity in all forms has always been important to her. Whether it’s writing, film, entrepreneurship, painting or the daily living of life, she believes we all own the ability to be creative. We just have to pay close enough attention and nurture what is revealed.

Molly has spent most of her life thinking and painting allows her to stop. Her painting is intuitive and holds its roots in body, emotion and nature. She hopes you like what you find here but, if you don’t, that’s okay too - it’s art after all.

Artist Statement

“My work began as a result of physical hardship making it an active exploration of a shifting perspective. My process is a response to what the medium itself is doing so throughout my work there is an interdependence present, much how both we and the natural world survive. My work is more instinctual than skilled and more embodied than planned. Timing and intuition are required to create my work in its final form. I primarily use watercolor, ink and acrylic to create the sense of movement and depth that my pieces contain. Without my chosen medium’s natural flow and state, I would not be able to enact within my own and receive the same results. It is an energetic and tangible call-and-response. My work is abstract in nature but you will find hints of literal and definitive expression and form that I hope invite the viewer into a new and beautiful depiction of a world that already very much exists.”

‘River of Grass’ Acrylic on Calico This is the final piece in this series and my personal favorite, an ode to this region. River of Grass, another name for the Everglades, with its vast system of slow moving water through its grassy wetl
‘Rockface at Full Moon’ Acrylic on Canvas The spidery veins of time feel built into this piece. The boldness and beauty of withstanding while weather worn. Perhaps, I relate.
‘A Blush of Feldspar’ Acrylic on Calico The subtleness of the bottom right corner of this piece makes it almost appear as a natural shadow. It isn’t. I like how gentle the effect is.
‘Bamboo Grove’ Acrylic on Calico I can hear the wind through this bamboo. Visually, there is a staccato nature to this piece. The sense of short bursts when up close but a more full sense of completion from afar.
‘Into the Pacific’ Acrylic on Calico A plunge into the cool waters of the Pacific. Can you see the concentric ripples left behind from someone or something newly submerged? The glint and play of light on the ocean’s surface? Some
