| Artist Statement
Molly's work reflects her deep love for all animals and is passionate about depicting the loyalty, fun and friendship that our pets provide. Lucy, her Yellow Labrador Retriever, provides endless inspiration and is often the subject of her work. Lucy's expressions, the way her coat changes color in different light, Molly wants to capture it all. When she is not painting Lucy, Molly draws inspiration from other dogs, whether they are working, playing or posing. She works primarily in watercolors using a loose style and bold color to portray the life of a dog, a life of living in the moment.
Her focus is not restricted to animals and recently her work has broadened to painting moments from her everyday life that she simply wishes to remember. A visit to a friend's farm, the cows that summer in the pasture next door, a scene from a leisurely paddle on a New Hampshire lake. Memories that are uniquely her own and hopefully evoke a feeling of a shared experience.
Molly lives in New Boston, New Hampshire with her husband, Jim, and her two dogs, a very headstrong, yet lovable yellow Lab, Lucy, and a feisty and fun Cairn Terrier named Cricket.
She studied at Rhode Island School of Design (BFA Illustration) and is a proud member of New Hampshire Art Association, The Vermont Watercolor Society Signature Member, Canine Art Guild, New Hampshire Daily Painters and Watercolor Artists International.
