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.
Very special on both sides!
What a lovely colorful farm scene, and very sweet & touching poem on back - great find
Amazing artist! Leon and Mollie Bee are the nicest most talented people on Earth!
Thank you Watchsearcher, Newfld, and EJS. EJS, you know them personally?
Thanks for the love everyone!
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.
