Molly Sheehan is an artist at heart with a passion for telling honest visual stories. Her introduction to photography began with a tablet, allowing her to capture images of nearly everything. After joining a photography club and receiving additional training, she quickly realized that this was her true calling. Graduating in 2019 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Villa Maria College enhanced her ability to see more deeply. Driven by her passion, Molly has an eagerness to learn and recently earned her Master of Fine Arts in Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design.
Molly is always taking photographs; whether for work or personal use, she is never without a camera. Life rarely offers two identical stories. Molly discovers narratives in nearly everything, finding joy in reflecting on life's events and revealing the true essence of each individual through both professional and personal portraits. Molly consistently captures the genuine and honest beauty that life has to offer.
In addition to her artistic endeavors, Molly returned to Villa Maria College to educate a new generation of artists and assist students in tapping into their unexplored creativity.
