Fibre Artist:
Molly was born and continues to reside in the quaint seaside community of
Woody Point which is nestled into the Tablelands of the great Northern
Peninsula of Newfoundland and Labrador on the South side of Gros Morne
National Park. Although a wife and a busy mother of three girls she still
finds time to dedicate to her rug hooking and needle art. Living in a
UNESCO World Heritage site has had a major influence on her work and life.
She incorporates the geographical wonders of her surroundings and the
unique culture of Newfoundland and Labrador into her original designs.
Over the years Molly has studied Visual Arts and well as Dressmaking and
Tailoring. It is these skills and the time honoured tradition of passing
craft skills from one generation to the next that have enabled her to
creatively express ideas into beautiful hooked rugs and needle art.
