New Works by Molly Wright Artist’s Statement My work is pretty straightforward. I love color. I paint subjects that appeal to me because of the feelings they invoke in me. I have three grown children who were my subject matter quite often when they were young. We spent summers in Stone Harbor, New Jersey and these were special years. The beach scenes I paint now bring that back to me. I often include figures in my scenes because they give an emotional quality to works that cannot be obtained otherwise. I like the viewer to relate to these people in some way - that makes the piece personal for them. Living in Savannah on the water, I am surrounded by so much natural beauty with gorgeous light. I constantly see things I am dying to paint. Palm trees and marsh scenes abound, as well as other beautiful flora. My style has gotten looser as I have gotten older. At times I like to see how far I can take a subject and still have it be recognizable with the effects of light being apparent. I like to play between the representational and abstract. I enjoy a variety of subject matter as I think it keeps my work fresh. |
