Molly Squire is our Featured Artist of the Day!

Molly Squire is our Featured Artist of the Day!

Molly, of Lawrenceville, Virginia, graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with a B.A. in RTVMP (Radio, TV, and Communications). Soon after she graduated, Molly attended Paralegal School in Atlanta. 

She has always been a creative spirit. Much of her creativity was used when raising her three sons. "They have always loved doing whatever I did when they were very young", says Squire. She and her sons did many crafts together, such as making pillows and painting them. Squire states, "In the meantime, I am playing mom to very fast growing young men, so most mom activities were on hold for some time". Once her sons were off to college, Molly found time to begin painting.

Molly found comfort in painting when she lost her brother, in 2011. After a childhood friend invited her to a painting class, Molly soon found painting to be the outlet she was looking for. She explains, "from that day on I could not stop painting". She began taking classes at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in order to strengthen her understanding of oil painting.

Molly is very dedicated to improving her work. She still continues to take classes every week, driving 90 miles to do so. "I love it and I will never give it up...I look at everything differently and I appreciate the Earth and nature so much more. I see things I have never seen before", says Squire.

Molly has been painting for almost five years and has already made so many accomplishments. Ten of her paintings are featured in a new restaurant in Emporia, two of which have already sold.

Her work captures a vibrant interpretation of a marsh near her home. Visit Gallery Flux to see
