Hello!
I create colourful and expressive paintings inspired by nature.
My work starts with my hands, allowing me to fully embody my emotions and pour my energy in. Every mark is an act of letting go, of accepting the present moment and embracing authenticity. The joy I feel as I play with colour and experience the freedom of creating comes through in every piece.
This raw expression I then contain within natural forms or transform into imagined landscapes. My work creates joyful spaces that celebrate the healing power of being outside. They are compassionate canvases.
With love,


Bio
Molly’s professional journey began with a Biomedical Chemistry degree and life as a science teacher. Her most fulfilling days were spent connecting with students in nature- teaching conservation underwater whilst living on a remote island in Indonesia, biodiversity studies in the forests and camping in the mountains of Thailand. Often barefoot, Molly also deepened her practice of yoga and meditation.
Witnessing an education system that was not valuing humans for the incredible individuals they are, Molly retrained as a psychotherapist, earning her MSc from the University of Derby. Her integrative approach includes using Compassion-Focused techniques, which combine mindful visualisations with contemporary neuroscience. Alongside her training came a return to the creativity she had loved as a child. Over the pandemic she painted 100 paintings in 100 days to hone her skills and this embedded creative practice into her life.
Her work as a therapist means holding stories of some of the most challenging aspects of existing. Molly releases these emotions and her own reactions to life by allowing her whole body to express through painting, frequently using her hands to paint. This embodiment has been an important part of her own path to more self acceptance and less anxiety.
She is driven by the belief that good art has the power to encourage mindfulness, inviting the viewer into a moment of contemplation. This is especially important in spaces of emotional healing, which require bravery to enter. Her artwork is displayed in therapy agencies’ waiting rooms, helping to create calming environments for both therapists and those seeking therapy. Molly’s work is also in private collections in the UK and Europe
