Abstract Impressionism is an art movement that originated in New York City in the 1940s It involves painting subjects in an Impressionist style, but with a focus on varying levels of abstraction. The movement works delicately between the lines of pure abstraction (the extent of which varies greatly) and the allowance of an impression of reality in the painting.
Like most Abstract Impressionists, Mollie paints outside in the landscape she is capturing.
The style of abstract impressionism focusses on the portrayal of real life subjects- typically situated close to the artist themselves- through simplification and abstraction. This creates a work of art that lends itself towards the traditions of both Impressionism and Abstract art movements. The amount of abstraction varies greatly from painting to painting, which has been seen as a point of controversy in the movement as it disallows visual conformity between works
Mollie is represented by the Tumalo Art Company located in the heart of bend at the Old Mill District.
