    Molly Bee is the daughter of Folk Artist Leon Collins. She is a self-taught artist born in 1963 and did not began painting until 1993. I found this tray today, and I was surprised to find a poem on back. This is the second work of art I have found of Molly's. I hope to find something her dad created one day.

      Pretty cool with a great big bonus on the back with a little story poem

      Vynil, thank you! Found this at Salvation, it was stuck under other trays. Pretty sure someone saw it and thought a child painted it.

      Hi, the other day I was at an antique market and saw many of her pieces and some of her fathers. I have been on a mission to go to navosota to find them and see if they have a “shop” or gallery of their own. Does anyone know? I know they used to have one in an antique store that has since closed. If anyone knows- please fill me in- I have 2 young kids and a sick mother, so if I drive to navasota, I will only have an hour or two to look around.

      Hi Lizaash! I'm not certain, you could try Tejas Antiques in Navasota.

      Hope it helps!
