Barbara Molloy is an award winning artist who has been making art for many years.  She is a writer and teacher, "Heaven With Others" (Cervena Barva Press), & "In Favor of Lightning," (Wesleyan University Press).  After 2018,  a personal tragedy made it more difficult to write, while working visually in paint, pastel & ink seemed to offer therapeutic & spiritual healing.  Having moved to beautiful Whidbey Island in 2019, she's surrounded by a natural environment never lacking in natural subjects to paint.  Work featuring art & poetry of birds facing endangered or extinct status is forthcoming.
