Hilary Molloy is an established wildlife and landscape
artist.A native of Limerick Hilary spends much of her time in north
clare where she gets much of her inspiration. dramatic skies, ducks
and geese in flight are familiar themes in her work.
Hilary successfully captures the mood of birds in their
natural environment: the interpretation of these birds are true to form
and movement especially the vitality of the woodcock and duck which
she has studied to a degree in the light filled air that surrounds them.
Alternating between oil and water-colour depending on the subject, she
finds the fluidity of water-colours particularly appealing. many hours
spent walking the Flaggy shore and the unique landscape that surrounds
it provides an endless source of material for her work.
The hues and tones of the landscape, the flap of a terns wing, the excitement
of the water when the mackerel come in are all captured in her art.
hilary does not seek to interpret what surrounds her, rather she tries
to convey the beauty in the ordinary, the magic in the place that is
close to her heart.
Self taught, hilary's work is regularly exhibited in many galleries
around the country. She has had 4 solo exhibitions to date in galway,
Cork and Limerick and her work can be regularly viewed in the russell
gallery. .
