Molly Schmid
Molly Schmid brings to the world
of art a fresh gift. Though raised in a home suffused with classical
painting, music, and literature, her drive to paint emerged only
with maturity. Though undoubtedly touched by the work of her
father, the artist Richard Schmid, she steadfastly pursues her
own style and outlook. Her work has been commissioned throughout
the United States and Canada. She is represented by Giacobbe-Fritz,
The Wendt Gallery, M Gallery of Fine Art and Astoria Fine Art.
In addition, her work is part of the permanent collection of
the State of Florida, as well as private, corporate, and museum
collections. Her work has been featured in magazines such as
American Art Collector, The Artist's Magazine, US Art and Art
Talk.
A New Englander by birth, but
a resident of Northern Florida, she excelled academically at
Florida State University, graduating Magna Cum Laude, with a
degree in Fine Art. Her emphasis is on classical, representational
oil painting. Her subject matter includes portraiture, still
life, landscapes and wildlife.
Underlying and guiding her focus on technical excellence, is
a dedication to a personal self-expression of gratitude sincerely
voiced in her attitude toward her life and work, becoming
an artist and mother has changed me profoundly. Everyday is a
journey in which I am learning, growing, and changing. At my
core, however, is a part of me that has not changed; that is
my fascination with life and all its facets. I am blessed
to live this life, doing what I love, surrounded by good friends
and an amazing family.
Molly currently lives in Tallahassee,
Florida with her young son, Ian. In addition to motherhood and
painting she also acts as Executive Vice President for Stove
Prairie Press, an independent publishing company founded by her
father.
