Introducing the New Collection:

Waiting For Odysseus, 2025

Along with the launch of the new website comes the launch of a brand new collection. The quiet strength of Penelope threads its way through this most recent collection of six paintings. As new suitors press for her hand, Penelope returns quietly each night to the loom, secretly unpicking her day’s work...

These paintings draw on the textures of ancient maps, the parched ground of the Greek Islands, and the shifting lines of the shoreline; landscapes where memory, myth and human endurance converge.

All six paintings come ready framed.

Many Actors Make Art (MAMA)

Brixton, London, 2025

For three vibrant summer evenings, actors who are also visual artists take over the galleried basement of The Department Store in Brixton, London, showcasing ceramics, sculpture, painting, printmaking, and more, all in support of the Theatre Artists Fund. Between July 2020 and March 2022, the fund realised emergency funds for theatre freelancers across the UK in need of critical financial aid, due to the devastating impact of COVID-19 on the theatre sector.

2025 was Molly’s first year participating in the show with a selection of work which included her new collection Waiting for Odysseus - six paintings exploring the quiet strength of Penelope, through the themes of memory, myth and human endurance.

Introducing : The Monochrome Portraits

Available for commission, 2025

Molly is delighted to have launched a new portrait style to her portfolio of portraits for commission: a series of monochrome works in a distinctive size and style. Painted in subtle gradations of light and shadow, these portraits distil the essence of the sitter with striking simplicity and immediacy. Contemporary yet timeless, they offer a refined alternative to her larger oil commissions while carrying the same depth of character and presence.

Portraiture, at its finest, transcends likeness. It becomes a vessel for memory, for the essence of a fleeting moment, for the quiet presence of a life unfolding. To be entrusted with capturing a family’s story across generations is among the most meaningful honours of an artist’s practice. That British sculptor Hamish Mackie , himself a master of form and vitality, chose Molly to paint his daughters speaks to the depth, resonance, and enduring quality of her work.
