Annotated Muses

Annotated Muses is a 2016 show at the Postmasters Gallery in NYC. Each painting is of a person whose life she admires and whose friendship she cherishes. Once Molly has completed her depiction of the Muse, that subject returns to the studio to annotate and edit the painting – getting in the final word in their representation.
