Molly Phinny | Artistic Background

Molly Phinny lives in Cedar, Michigan and Patagonia, AZ.
She graduated from DePauw University in 1968. 
From watercolors to acrylics to quilts and collage, Phinny’s experimentation with art has spanned from her thirties to her late seventies. A true love for the glue gun keeps the old gal going. It’s serious, happy play.

Molly had her own art studio in Glen Arbor, Michigan. She was involved with the Glen Arbor Art Association and has been a part of the creation of The Patagonia Arts Center in Patagonia AZ. She taught art classes both from her horse farm in Michigan and at the Patagonia Creative Arts Center. 

Molly Phinny is Morgan Fisher's mother. She has had a significant impact and influence on her daughter's passion for art and her physical activities on the water, snow and out in nature. 

Molly is co Founder, on the Board of Directors and is a part time art teacher + student at the Patagonia Creative Arts Center in Patagonia, AZ.
