Moly

Moly is the artist's nickname, which she also uses to sign all her paintings; if you are interested, the actual name is Amal Rashed.

Moly’s journey with painting and drawing started when she was a child as she grew up in a home that was full of her father’s paintings. Moly started to draw portraits for everyone in her family and her friends using pencil shades. One day her school art teacher gifted her an oil painting kit to recognize her talent; since then, her passion for oil painting has begun.

Moly is a self-taught oil painting artist who is inspired by nature around her; she has a passion for capturing and reflecting the beauty of lights and colours in her paintings and mixing compositions to highlight the unseen details in fantastic nature.

Moly chose Vancouver, BC, as her home. She participated in different exhibitions in and outside Canada and is a signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists.
