Molly McIntyre is an artist living in Brooklyn, New York with her husband and two young sons. In her cut paper work, she builds on her training as a printmaker to create images that exist in the intersection of craft, fine art, and illustration.
She currently works for an artist-run company drawing live illustrated portraits at all kinds of events around New York City. Her cut paper animatics were featured in the 2020 Netflix show Worn Stories. She worked for several years with The Postpartum Stress Center in Philadelphia, creating a campaign of comics to help new parents struggling with mental health. These comics were published as the book Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts (Karen Kleiman, Familius Press). She also illustrated the book Water Talks by renowned feminist artist Betsy Damon.
Her cut paper works explore the way it feels to be in the world and occupy space as both subject and object. Youth, pregnancy, and aging have all emerged as themes. She is interested in subtly incorporating humor into her cut paper work.
