I am an artist exploring the intersection of science & spirituality, & the healing & evolutionary modalities that are born from this intersection. I paint visions on canvases & walls to inspire love (for this reality), healing (from the trials of this reality), & resilience (to keep moving through this reality). I create to be in service to the visions that move through me, & to provide viewers with visual & energetic artifacts of what they find to be meaningful.
Working mainly with acrylics & a combination of direct & indirect painting methods, I build up layers of color, light, & geometric patterns to convey the invisible energies that surround & are expressed by all living matter.
In doing so, I invite viewers to reflect upon aspects of reality that are usually beyond what we perceive with our eyes, & to invoke within them a Remembrance —- that we’re spirits in these bodies. There’s more going on here than what meets the eye. We’re souls on journeys of both personal & collective Transformation. There’s beauty to revel in, while also trauma & growth to endure - but the Game’s not long, & quite worth sticking around for.
Molly Chopin is a visual artist creating paintings on canvases & walls to inspire expansions of consciousness & reflections upon the Divine nature of existence.
Born 1985 in St. Paul, MN, Molly moved to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania at a young age. She grew up there as the middle child in a family who encouraged her creativity, & throughout her youth she maintained a steady relationship with the arts through music, painting, & theater.
Upon finishing high school she attended Kutztown University of Pennsylvania to pursue a degree in Art Education, & after graduating in 2007 went on to work as a full-time secondary art teacher for 7 years.
In 2013 a series of traumatic events drove Molly to question existence & delve deeper into a mode of art making than she had ever been. It was during this year that she experienced a transcendental flow state while painting for the first time, & while immersed in this state she interfaced with a loving entity that affirmed to her the presence of energies, guides, & worlds that exist beyond this visible realm.
2014 saw her last days as a full-time teacher, & the first public displays of her paintings, & since then her work has been exhibited in galleries, shows, & festivals all over the Southeastern United States.
Today she primarily creates from her home studio in Raleigh, NC, & she is a conductor and crew member of The Vision Train, an international art community that emerged in 2020.
