meet the artist

Molly Engen is a painter based in Northeast Louisiana working mostly in large scale acrylic painting as well as live painting. She graduated from Louisiana Tech University in 2018 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art with a focus in painting. Molly works full time as an artist, wife, and mom.

“For me, creating has evolved into a way of being genuinely receptive of the now. With each new mark on the surface depending on the previous one, my intuitive process is fixated on being wholly present and intentional with each piece—free from distraction. Just as scale, eye contact, and vibrant palettes yearn for attention, so does my visceral process in creating.

My hope is that through my art there is an opportunity to rest and focus, to live in the now, to allow in the present moment to occupy full attention, and to truly experience all that each piece has to offer—even if only for a brief instance in time.”
