Molly Mellinger
The art of Molly Mellinger celebrates and explores the horse. Her connection to horses and horsemanship informs her understanding of movement, balance, and softness—qualities that naturally emerge in her work. Mellinger is a multidisciplinary artist with a foundation in drawing, an emerging interest in sculpture, and a primary focus on oil painting. Her paintings are vibrant and textural, rich with color and contrast. Each piece attempts to reconcile the tension between the precise and the abstract, where sensitively rendered forms emerge from painterly, expressive backgrounds. Artistic magic happens in the space between these contrasts. Calculated design and composition meet intuition and play, and the flow found in the process creates a dynamic harmony. Mellinger strives to establish a sense of equilibrium—where control and fluidity align, much like the unity achieved between horse and rider.
Mellinger learned her craft through workshops with prominent master artists. Her work has been exhibited in major shows and museums. She is a Pro-Member of Cowgirl Artists of America; and an associate member of Oil Painters of America and Women Artists of the West.
