HILLARY MOLLOY

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. .
