Molly Brose

hey y'all, just wanted to share some work by Molly Brose.  i find her style exquisite.


"The Night Owl"
"Nothing Missing"
"Soon as the Bell Rings"


"One thing I know - I can't wait for inspiration; I find it only when I'm working. My paper doesn't stay white for long. I immediately begin layering and layering the paint, creating textures, trying to keep it loose and spontaneous, letting the background evolve.

I have a plan, but I leave holes in it because I know my best pieces are those in which I surprise myself. Aesthetically, I have one simple goal: make it beautiful.

When it comes to my subjects, I choose them intuitively, I find them everywhere, and I'm always looking. The inspiration could be a photograph, an object, something I saw while walking through the city, a phrase in one of my old sketchbooks, a phone call, a disappointment. I'm trying to capture something. I'm trying to make it speak. In a way, all of my work is fueled by music. It's gotta be worthy of a song."
