Hi!
I'm Molly (she/they). I'm a nature artist, gardener, workshop leader, and community connector based in Oxford.
I create playful artwork and installations using found, foraged, recycled, and organic materials. My practice includes textiles, printmaking, sculpture, gardening, community art, natural dyeing, mud printing, and whatever else inspires me!
My practice sits where art, gardening, and community meet.
I’m fascinated by the things people often overlook: slug trails, spores, weeds, compost, mud, cabbage leaves, creepy crawlies, damp corners, and things slowly decomposing in interesting ways. I love turning these “gross” or ordinary materials into soft, tactile, joyful work that invites people to look again.
Community, accessibility, playfulness, and getting your hands dirty are at the heart of what I do.

A bit more about me
As a queer & Disabled person, I often feel like an outsider.
This distance from the mainstream allows me to see what may seem dirty or mundane as extraordinary and beautiful.
My work often features slug trails, weeds, and spores, things often deemed gross by society. I’m drawn to things that survive quietly in the margins. Worms turning waste into fertile soil. Weeds cracking through concrete. Mushrooms appearing overnight. Rot becoming new life. Softness as strength.
It may be through the tactile treasure of the humble cabbage leaf, or the fortunate finding of forageable mushrooms. Or maybe the not-so-fortunate surprise of finding a rat named Pat that lives behind your kitchen sink.
My journey with chronic pain led me to find solace in nature.
Disability means I must take things slow. This means I spend a lot of time noticing tiny details, unexpected textures, and small moments of beauty. Slowness has become an important part of my practice - alongside curiosity, experimentation, and making joyful messes.
Nature has the power to bring people together, through shared experiences and memories, and nourish both the community and the planet. My community work in gardening and art spaces reflect my desire to let nature heal and use it as a positive unifying force.
I am passionate about building communities
and have a range of curating, public art, and community experience.
Did you know I’ve worked as a Youth Worker with autistic children?
I also run inclusive welcoming garden spaces at Flos and The Children’s Allotment and love using nature as a way of grounding and connecting with people.
You can also find me at not-for-profit queer community company T(ART) Productions CIC as an artist, gardener, and volunteer.
I also founded queer art collective SCRAPS!
Let’s create something together
Whether you’re dreaming of a nature-inspired print to go on your wall, looking for a mindful moment of making, or planning a community project, I’d love to hear from you
