Molly Dee

In her work as a sculptor, Molly Dee researches and interacts in communities to share their stories through the exploration of the human form. Dee's work is an abstraction of the female figure with her own body and its movements as her biggest inspiration. She strives to capture the inner movement and expressive form of the figure. Through gestural use of plaster in contrast to soft edges and in combination with colorful exploration she is able to add a layer of abstraction. Dee is able to tell a story that allows all audiences to put themselves inside the figure rather than capture a body exactly as it appears - where we can distance ourselves through details that we know don’t belong.

Dee was born and raised in the Boston area where she was a student at Joseph P. Keefe Technical High School before attending Boston University’s School of Visual Arts. There she earned a Bachelors of Fine Art with a double major in Graphic Design & Sculpture and a minor in History of Art & Architecture. Her studio is at The Mill Contemporary Art Studios at Saxonville Mills in Framingham. In addition to her work as an artist, she is currently a visual arts teacher as well.
