Molly Reeder is an artist specializing in botanical, plant & food story. She paints large scale detailed watercolors of edible & plant-based subjects, highlighting their unique beauty and innate healing. She is particularly inspired by the weaving threads within food and plant ancestry, and the wisdom of the natural world. Molly seeks meaningful collaborations through the lens of her artwork, where her paintings and illustrations help to support and showcase community & human rights organizations, and especially environmental/climate activism efforts.
She spent many years traveling and living across the world in places such as New Zealand, Bulgaria and Hawaii. Molly now finds a home in Richmond, VA (Powhatan Land) with her husband and pup. She is inspired by food ancestry, plants, and the human connection and narrative within these.
Molly’s work has been featured in such publications as Slow Drinks: A field guide to Foraging and Fermenting Seasonal Sodas, Botanical Cocktails, Homemade Wines, and more, Evergreen Kitchen: Weeknight Vegetarian Dinners for Everyone, Saveur Magazine, Taproot Magazine, Life and Thyme, PALM Hawaii, and Bake From Scratch
