About Art by Molly Marie
My Story
I have loved drawing & sketching since I was very young & have always been intrigued by faces. I have a passion for capturing a special look or expression on a person's face.
This led me to pursue a degree in Art Education at McNeese State University in 2001 & an Associate degree in Visual Arts. I'd later go on to receive my teaching certificate in Special Education.
In 2006, I began snapping photos of sunsets in my backyard, & realized I had a newfound passion-chasing the sunset & capturing scenes that only lasted a moment.
The Good Lord paints them in the sky for us & I have been completely blown away by His masterpieces.
In 2010, I had the honor of being commissioned to create Louisiana-themed artwork for The Wingate Hotel in Lake Charles, LA. Creating artwork of beautiful scenes of my state was an incredible experience. In 2012, I began a new chapter & became a Special Ed. teacher, working in Autism & Self-Contained classrooms. It's a true joy to see my students draw their own masterpieces.
