Molly Odom Magill
Artist’s Statement
My work is almost always an exploration of place. Who we are, where we come from and where we are going as expressed through color, form and texture. The work seeks to use these elements to explore and question not only the geography, but the culture, boundaries, intersections in our environments. The hope is that each piece will push us to consider our life’s path and to find confidence in our place in the complicated beauty of the world.
Bio
Molly Odom Magill is an artist living in Dallas, TX. Hailing from West Texas and influenced by generations of a family of creative people, artists, writers, poets and musicians, Molly graduated college with a degree in design. That family influence echoed and after 17 years, she left her corporate career to start the art studio, Cliff and Callahan.
The studio work is always connected to an intersection of things - past and present, soft and bold, real and unreal, rural and urban, joy and sorrow. Molly seeks to embrace these intersections and all the circumstances that bring us to where we are, no matter how unexpected or imperfect the path. Connecting Molly’s past in Callahan County with her present in Oak Cliff is the foundation of the work.
Molly's work has been seen in numerous shows throughout Texas since 2018 including two juried shows though Arts Fort Worth, a prize winner in a national juried show for Minted, and several group shows in Dallas with fellow local and national artists. Her work is also in many private collections and commercial spaces that span across the United States and Canada, with concentrations in Colorado, North Carolina, California, and of course, Texas.
