Colin Molaski Presents
A Hero’s Journey: Turning Dreams into Reality

January 11 – March 29, 2024

Opening reception Thursday, January 11 from 6-8pm

I would like to say this journey started effortlessly and was all sunshine and rainbows but that would be a lie. I always considered myself an artist I just never had the discipline, focus or drive during my childhood to forge and refine it out of me. Fast forward many years into adulthood and I could no longer ignore my calling and my purpose. I could no longer put off and ignore what I was put on this earth to do, and that is to create original works of art that allow me to connect to the people and the world around me.

It started out almost like an itch that needed to be scratched. In 2017 I picked up a paint brush for the very first time and had absolutely no idea what I was doing or even the direction I should be going in. But something felt different within me, like this was my calling and what I was put on this earth to do. The first 4 years or so were a struggle to say the least. During those 4 years I painted and painted and painted, making one mistake after another. I was struggling with the concept of finding my own style and it almost got to a point where I almost got fed up and gave up, but the voice inside me would not allow me to do so. So, what did I do? I ignored my inner voice of self-doubt and decided to make a vow to myself that I would do whatever it took to devote my entire life to the pursuit of my art.
