Get To Know Me.

Colin Molaski’s journey as an artist was anything but effortless. Though he always felt a deep connection to creativity, discipline and focus didn’t come easily in his early years. It wasn’t until adulthood that he could no longer ignore his true calling: to create art that connects him to people and the world around him.

In 2017, Colin picked up a paintbrush for the first time with no formal training, driven only by an unshakable sense of purpose. The early years were filled with trial and error, countless mistakes, and the difficult process of searching for his own style. Despite moments of frustration and doubt, his inner voice pushed him forward, leading him to commit fully to his craft.

By 2020, Colin made the life-changing decision to leave his 9–5 job and pursue painting full-time, even while raising his daughter as a single father. What began as an uncertain leap quickly became a life of purpose and fulfillment. Today, Colin lives his dream as a professional artist, creating original works that embody imagination, memory, and freedom. His story is a testament to resilience, dedication, and the belief that dreams are worth fighting for.

Exhibitions and Achievements:

2019: Group exhibition in Fredericksburg Virginia at Fredericksburg Center for the Creative Arts.

2021: Taught exploring abstraction classes for adults and did step by step instruction to help them create beautiful works of art that they can be excited about and proud of. Throughout the months of 2021 I taught different courses every Friday and Saturday night to groups of adults who wanted to learn different techniques that I use to help me in my abstract works. These techniques are things I have personally learned through trial and error to help me get unstuck while in my studio.
