Molly Frances Murphy, a local artist with a focus on abstract oil paintings, has donated this amazing 8 x 8" oil on paper piece, double matted and framed in white. The piece is titled "Islands."

Molly's most recent work deals with cycles of life and death as they exist in the interconnected systems between humans and the natural world. This piece insightfully bridges the gap between her recent work and her Paper Land series of oil on paper landscapes which provide flowing, active scenes which are melancholy, beautiful, and intensely alive.
