I’m Molly.
I go outside and paint how it feels. The result is vivid, captivating paintings full of colour that add sparks of joy to any space.
They are compassionate canvases, embracing the meanderings to healing and authenticity. They offer moments of reflection and escape to those who spend time with them.
My work starts with my hands, allowing me to fully embody my emotions and pour my energy in to each piece. I then build up layers, so each one has depth, adding interest as you get closer.
I’m so glad you’re here.
Things I love: being barefoot in forests, swimming in open water, watching my two girls play, small festivals, camping in our ridiculous bell tent, eating things I’ve grown or cooked outside, reading epic fantasy novels, movement through dance, yoga and climbing.
My work has been in Leicester Museum and Art Gallery for their Open Exhibition, in group shows and art fairs, displayed in wellness centres, therapy waiting rooms and is in private collections in both the UK and Europe. A full list of exhibitions can be found here.
My values
+ Cruelty Free
All of my work is created using vegan materials, for example I use synthetic brushes, there’s no bone char in my paint and the paper I use isn’t sized with gelatine or pressed with wool. I research each new material before I welcome it into my practice.
+ Treading lightly on the planet
The most sustainable thing we can do is use what we have already so I will collage over old canvases and re-use packaging. My print club uses 100% recycled papers and card. I am using up my old supply of paint and replacing it with bio-based paint (50% plant based, vegan and free of heavy metals). It is a work in progress, but I am committed to continue to find ways to make my art more sustainable.
+ Supporting UK business
I use UK suppliers for my art supplies and UK based experts for my giclee and print club prints. I support ethical and sustainable suppliers.
