PulsePDX Gallery featuring “Affirmations” by local artist Molly Chidsey
PulsePDX Gallery is pleased to announce a new exhibition of artwork by PulsePDX member and local artist Molly Chidsey. Molly is a lettering and watercolor artist with a passion for mental wellness. Her latest collection, “Affirmations,” includes ten works of hand-drawn calligraphy and modern watercolor designs. The collection is on display at PulsePDX dance studio through March 15, 2024.
She says, “For the past several years, I have been exploring my relationship with my inner dialog, a voice that is oftentimes more critical than supportive. I created this collection featuring ten phrases which have been helpful to my own healing, mental health and self-care.”
Background paintings were created with liquid watercolor, ink, salt, Halloween webbing, and dried leaves.
