Artist Biography
Molloy was born in 1914 in South Shields, United Kingdom.
In 1940 she traveled to Maymyo, Burma, to marry Patrick R. H. Molloy of the Burma Civil Service. She was evacuated from Burma in 1942 after the Japanese Invasion in World War II.
The Molloys returned to England in the mid-1960s. Her many paintings and sketches of the peoples of South Africa and Burma in particular, capture a broad cross section of society. Some can be viewed at the British Library (India Office Collections).
In later life she taught at Stratton School, Biggleswade, before becoming Head of Art at St Francis College, Letchworth Garden City. Her work has been exhibited at the Royal Academy and the Paris Salon. She wrote of her experiences in Burma in Burma Bride (Able 1996)
