Not everyday is going to be great. Mistakes happen and we learn from them. Or in my case, I forget how to measure them properly everytime because I only make frames once a year or so. Thankfully I only messed up two pieces before I noticed...

That's why you always buy extra lumber!

These new bird prints are giving me so much content to share and I'm thrilled that IG has started sharing my reels to a wider audience.

If you're new to my page, expect to see a mix of printmaking, painting, metal sculpting, and probably a few other things. I love creating and follow the inspiration in whatever medium.

I am so excited to share these new birds at my upcoming exhibit at Pitt Meadows Art Gallery @citypittmeadows called "Our Feathered Friends" opening Jan.24

I can't tell if the Patrick audio is laughing or crying and frankly, that's exactly how I feel while im printing.

This bird is a golden-crowned sparrow and they like to live in shrubbery.

Here's my face- follow my artwork. You too can become a printmaker by taking one of my classes. Links in bio.

I rely on @philprajoux to stay up-to-date on current events and tell me what I need to know. It's not a great system, but otherwise I get overwhelmed and shut down completely which isn't ideal either.

I am so saddened by the state of the world and hope that my artwork can give people a brief respite to the state of things, if only for a moment.

Today I broke in a new @speedball_art brayer that I've been saving for over a year! It was lovely and squeak-free.

Art brings us together, allows us to express ourselves and we need more art, and less hate.

Happy New Year! May your 2026 be filled with doing things you love with people you tolerate being around (I mean love)!!

I finished carving the last of 6 new birds at 11:30pm tonight while watching Alone with @philprajoux and @hughthebully - a perfectly quiet evening for us.

Black-bellied Plover.

At my house, it's impossible to say "my fingers hurt" without someone saying "oh your fingers hurt? Well now your back's gonna hurt cause you just pulled two weeks of landscape duty...anyone else's fingers hurt? I didn't think so!"

Who can name that movie quote?

My world is back to birds for the next few weeks as I prepare for an exhibit in January at the Pitt Meadows Art Gallery. New birds will be plovers, waterfowl and a hawk. All birds carved and printed to-scale.

Ending the year making some new birds prints.

I was going through my phone looking for a photo to promote linocut workshops and came across this video of my mime sculpture with my mom talking...I think this audio is viral worthy...please pass it on.

That's a wrap on my first 8-week Printmaking Exploration course at @pdacoquitlam. I have to say, it was absolutely wonderful!!

I am so grateful to the 8 participants who signed up and threw themselves into the magical world of printmaking with me. It was a great group of people, who have become my comparison point for all future classes.

Together we made:
Lego print
Foam board print
Collagraph relief print
Collagraph etched print
Kitchen lithograph print
2 linocut prints
Silkscreen prints

It was a big learning curve for me, in terms of putting together a course syllabus, creating weekly handouts, packing and prepping for a different type of printmaking every week, and time management. I now feel confident in creating new, more in-depth classes for each type of printmaking, which will allow participants to explore their preferred print medium.

Thank you @pdacoquitlam and all the lovely people who showed up to class ready to learn and create!!

Here's to more classes in 2026🥂

What a wonderful day at @pdacoquitlam teaching a variety of art mediums from stamping, drawing and colouring, watercolour techniques and shown in this video - collage!

Extremely grateful to the @langleyartscouncil for the opportunity to have some of my relief prints available for rent through their new Art and Sales Rental program.

Tonight at the launch party, I found out that 6/8 of my pieces have been rented out to @tinhorncreek! I look forward to seeing them hung up at the vineyard!!

Although it looks like it was just @alana_evans_art and me, it was a great turn out with lots of lovely people at the opening. I'm glad I didn't let my anxiety talk me out of going tonight!

Thank you @philprajoux for capturing these moments. I have to stop pretending to be a bird when posing by my bird prints.

Phil and I have been watching Alone, and this one landscape shot was so beautiful that I took a screen shot(swipe to see). I haven't spent much time watercolour painting lately, and thought I would give it a go. It's not great, it's not bad, it is what it is. Need to practice.

#watercolour #practice #landscape #bclandscapes #alone

This project was made for my printmaking class @pdacoquitlam so my students have more space to dry their prints.

I got the plywood for free from a place in Maple Ridge with @philprajoux. They leave their off cuts outside, and the shelves were pieces I already had. It took somewhere between 4-6 hours following no plan but the idea in my mind. I got confused at the end when I was trimming the shelf lengths and I cut on the wrong side of the line, which made the shelves a little loose instead of snug. When I have time, I will look to see if I've got enough material to cut new shelves. Until then, these 2 drying racks are coming with me to class tonight!

A growing hobby of mine is baking sourdough bread. After two years, I finally feel like I have it somewhat figured out but obviously still working on slicing. I had no idea that my hair could look THAT ginger. Thanks @philprajoux for catching my true beauty😆

You bet I sang under the sea in Sebatian's voice the entire time I worked on this baby quilt.

@j3ssmary @talkstobears I couldn't wait for you to open it anymore. Congratulations on your baby-to-be🦦⭐️🐙🐬

Well they can't all be winners can they? We learn in our failures and this is that.

If anyone has any tips for collagraph Intaglio printing, please share!

Another successful trial!

Using lego is a great budget friendly way to explore relief printing. You can often find mixed bags of it at thrift stores and the combination of designs are endless.

For this trial, I went with a city scape. I wanted to see if the height of the LEGO would fit through the press and it did.

I got my vaccines yesterday and have been having all the aches and pains- so have had to postpone testing the press for a couple of days.

Should be able to print a test print in the next couple of days!!

A huge thank you to @langleyartscouncil and the jury for this award!

I am beyond excited to share this news with everyone who has been following along with my venture into metal sculpture. Winning this award is extremely encouraging to continue working in this challenging medium.

Wahooooo!!

Little watercolour painting made in the French country side and some inspiration for future paintings.

#watercolour #watercolor #landscape

Not much time for art these days but lots of visiting with @philprajoux family, a beautiful wedding, and clamming up speaking French.

I'm hoping to get some time in the next 9 days to try some plein air painting.

To discover a passion while on holiday is special. I present to you, pigeons of France: volume 1.

#pigeonsofinstagram #pigeon #featheredfriends #birds

What do you think of when you hear the words 'Fairy Tales'?

Now that the racoon is on display at @langleyartscouncil for the next two months, I'm not sure what to share.

Here is a photo of the painting that took me 4 years to finish.

I forgot to mention that this small floral piece will also be on display with the @langleyartscouncil at the Aldergrove Kinsmen Community centre starting Sept.25-Nov.17th

#grinding #mollygrayart #metalsculpture #metalart #flowers #stilllife

After hours of research, I found a spray paint that will adhere to galvanized steel and I am so delighted with the result. I went with @krylonbrand fusion all in one spray paint with a hammered black finish. The result is a slightly shimmery black with some texture. It suits the piece and I am so thrilled!

This is not a collaboration with Krylon, but if I keep using the product and gain enough followers, maybe it could be! If you're looking for a spray paint that will stick to difficult surfaces, give Fusion all in one a try!!

After 10 months, a huge learning curve, and a lesson in paint with galvanized steel, this piece is almost ready to go to @langleyartscouncil for an upcoming exhibit.

Being accepted the the ArtsPacific show has given me the push to get this piece finished and renewed my desire to pursue metal sculpting.

I ask myself why am I so stiff and sore all the time...this Molly, this is why.

I don't know how much this weighs, but I know that my very strong husband, @philprajoux who weight lifts 6x a week, also struggled to lift this off the table for me when I was finished adding that base piece.

Thankful to @twinrinksphysiotherapy for working on my shoulder tendons. I have definitely overdone it the last few days and appreciate the care and exercise routine to work on being pain free!

Laughing away to myself at my mouth not working. Enjoy.

To the most amazing physiotherapist, Arnout, who until today, I hadn't seen since I was a teenager, this reel is for you!

Thank you for the encouragement and the treatment, and the exercises! I can't believe how hard it is to spell out the alphabet with a ball on the wall!!

Sneak Peak at what I've been working on for this very special event happening in Fort Langley this Sunday! Rain or shine!!

@pharoahsfraservalley (established in 1948) is hosting their 3rd annual carshow charity event. There will be live music, vendors, food trucks, and of course, CARS!

Money raised by this event will go to @encompasssupportservices

I hope to see you there!!

New skill unlocked - Heart butt.

This was done using embroidery thread and a weaving technique, and then finished with a basket stitch. I don't know if it will last, but I love the result! Kind of want to put one on the bottom of all my pants, even if they don't need it!

What do you think?

Reduce, reuse, recycle.

Experimenting with collage for an upcoming car show/market in Fort Langley September 14th.

I had such a great time last night making art at @snaginthevalley last night and I am super excited to explore more reduction printing.

On another note, I've been struggling alot with overwhelm lately so I am going to try a social media detox and see if that helps me reset. I feel weird announcing it, but I've realized how much time I spend endlessly scrolling for no reason and how much it is affecting my well being. Hopefully a few days off will give me some clarity on how I can move forward using Instagram without having it suck up my time.

If anyone needs to get a hold of me in the next few days, please send an email or give me a call!

What a lovely evening with @snaginthevalley at @downtownopenspace!

Tonight I tackled a 3-colour reduction print(which I've never done before) in just 3.5hours!! I printed an edition of 8 on paper as well as 6 t-shirts. The first edition and 5 t-shirts were taken home by raffle winners, and I met some really nice people.

A couple of my original mini watercolours and ink found new homes too!! What a great night.

Thank you @embermuninnart for allowing me to participate!!
