Molly Elizabeth
Creating art has been a part of Molly's life for as long as she can remember. Working in stone, clay, salt, and other mediums allows her to express ideas to the world. Growth is a recurring theme in Molly's work that often reflects nature, human growth, and her consciousness. She is fascinated by the seasons of life that push us forward into either growth or stagnancy. As an observer of nature, she sees the similarities between growth and the human experience. Working with natural materials helps Molly connect the growth parallels between the two.
Molly completed her bachelor's degree in art and psychology at Mount Mercy University and attended SACI College of Art and Design in Florence, Italy. This opportunity to view some of the world's greatest works of art deepened her understanding of the impact art can have on those who observe and appreciate it. She believes art has the power to change the world because it changes us.
Inspiration from being in nature, particularly among the trees, bodies of water, and healing herb gardens, is embedded in Molly's work. She also finds this through the female form and human connections, especially the many sweet moments with her children. The bond between mothers and their children is intensely close to her heart, and she captures that in some of her pieces.
As a lifelong learner who is always curious, Molly has certifications as a doula and in childbirth education. Here, she has studied and observed the emergence of life and bonds that connect us. Molly lives with her three amazing kids in Pennsylvania. She spends much of her time creating with her children, discovering the gift of nature, and admiring the growth process around her.
