MARCIA MOLNAR

Prescott, Arizona

Marcia Molnar’s life is one of contrasts. In summer, she camps and paints en plein air on the rim of Grand Canyon. At other times, she’s in New York City, wandering the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MOMA, and Central Park. “Having the opportunity to spend time in two different places during the year has encouraged me to try new things,” she says.

Marcia lives in Prescott, Arizona with her artist husband George Molnar. Together they explore and paint Arizona ranch life as well as the Grand Canyon. Marcia’s formative years were spent in her father’s gallery in Carmel, California. She moved on to do commissioned portraiture for many years, and then landscape. Marcia was awarded the Patron’s Award at the 2018 “Cowgirl Up! Art from the Other Half of the West” show at the Desert Caballeros Western Museum in Wickenburg, Arizona and won Best of Show at the 2016 Grand Canyon Celebration of Art. Her works are shown at Mountain Trails Gallery in Sedona, Arizona and the Broadmoor Galleries in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

I am inspired by being at the canyon and watching the storms and sunsets move in and out. My memories breathe soul into my paintings. I know I’ve finished a painting when it takes me back to the canyon.
