Molly Reed, Artist

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; I graduated from college in 2001 with a degree in Art Education and an Associate degree in Visual Arts. Backyard Sunset 2007 My Wedding Invitation, Graphite pencil, 2003 Commissioned Art for my dear Father in Law, Donald Reed, who I greatly love & miss. 

Hi everyone,
I have loved drawing since I was very small and I've always been intrigued by faces. I enjoy portrait drawing and especially capturing a special look or expression in a person's face . . .

your works are wonderful, I know that full well ...
Psalm 139:14 A Psalm of David
(New International Version)
For the past few years though, I have been snapping pictures of beautiful sunsets in my backyard and have come to realize I have a new found passion --capturing awesome scenes that only last a moment . . .
Now in my travels, I am discovering even more incredible scenes beyond my back yard . . .
The Good Lord paints them in the sky for us to see and it's amazing . . .I've been completely blown away by His masterpieces . . .
~Molly Reed
