Molly Rose Duggan is a young art student exploring her style. Her work blends surrealism, realism, and impressionism, featuring strong complementary colors and conceptual themes. She values the creative process and is skilled in drawing, acrylics, watercolor, pastels, sculpture, and textiles.

Hi I’m Molly, I’m a multi disciplinary visual artist studying, working and living in Wollongong. I tend to focus on acrylic painting and love to depict subjects in a surreal manner. I also love to put an emphasis on overlooked objects and moments in our everyday. I think that shining a light on everyday things uncovers more about the way we live and interact with the world around us. Illuminating the everyday exposes cultures, rituals, societal attitudes and prejudices.
