Molly Brown
Printmaker
Biography
I am an artist and printmaker based in Mid Wales. I am the daughter of John Brown and Anne Seymour and grew up at Pantry Fields. I have recently returned from East Africa after a 6 year period working in Sustainable Agriculture with small farmers, and I am now focusing on my creative work full time.
​
My work is inspired by ecology, both in the sense of relationships between organisms and their environment and the movement to protect the natural world. I have a particular interest in ecotones: places where two ecosystems meet and display a great variety of life. The diverse landscapes, plants and animals of Africa have influenced my work in recent years; I am equally inspired by the smaller nature of the UK, in particular the Welsh coast and mountain landscapes where I grew up and first discovered pattern in the hedgerows and shorelines.
​
My work is mostly handprinted using oil based inks in small editions and sometimes printed on a relief or etching press. I also use a portable desktop press that can be used for demonstrations and workshops.
