Molly Wright recently moved Pawleys Island, SC. where she will lives for a part of the year when she is not at her home located outside of Chattanooga, TN. She has lived up and down the east coast including Georgia, North Carolina, Connecticut and Virginia as well. A painter all of her life, she received a BA, majoring in fine art, from Randolph Macon Women’s College. She has been selling her work professionally since 1995. After years of working in oils, Molly switched over to acrylics in 2014. Working quickly, she enjoys the short drying time that acrylic paints offer. Molly’s newer works are expressionistic and impressionistic ~ utilizing color as a tool as much as her brush. Applying thick layers of paint, she achieves distinction with her bright, happy palette and loose painterly style that allows for the viewer’s own interpretation of the work. In Molly’s words, “Art is emotional for the painter as well as the viewer. It can change the lives of both parties. I love being a part of that.” “The evolution of my work is in my ability to get out of my own way.” At this time, Molly shows from her home studio as well as exhibiting in numerous solo and group shows up and down the East coast. You can find her work for sale at Christenberry Collection in Columbia, SC, The Scouted Studio Charleston, SC,, and Art House Charlotte in Charlotte, NC. She is also represented by The O’Brien Gallery in Greensboro, NC, Art and Light Gallery in Greenville, SC., Signature Art Gallery in Tallahassee, FL, Stellers Gallery, in Jacksonville, FL, Gallery Vibe in Naples, FL.,Bozutto and Greene Art in Baltimore, MD, and Nadia Waterfield Fine Art in Hampshire, U.K.. Molly’s work is in many private as well as commercial collections including Martha Jefferson Hospital in Charlottesville, VA and Elon University.
