Inspired by the storytelling techniques and styles of alternative comics and zines, Molly creates work with the aim to voice stories that are rarely shared in normative culture. Trained as a printmaker, Molly’s bold blocks of color mimic the visual qualities of traditional printmaking techniques. Molly’s work explores “the complexities of internal dialogue surrounding the acts of watching, doing, and taking up space.” Much of her work is centered on female protagonists and a personal lexicon of symbols. Molly is a Denver native who is well known for her bright figurative murals around the city. These two mural-sized paintings incorporate a variety of characters and show diversity in race, gender, ability, and age, showcasing Denver and Colorado culture as a nexus of recreation, both as a vibrant urban center and for the proximity to the Rocky Mountains.
