Valerie Molnar
Count Tyrone Rugen's Run
Valerie Molnar is a knitting artist. She uses her craft to create 'paintings' of "pleasing colour combinations that are easy to swallow". She wants her art to elicit the same emotions as painting do and for them to seamlessly coexist with the walls they are mounted on. Valerie is currently a second year at Virginia Commonwealth University of the Arts. She believes that the nature of her craft produces emotions and sentiment that machine made art doesn't. I very much agree with this view, which is partly the reason I was drawn to her work. Also, the blended colours and seamless construction of her pieces is something that I want to bring to my own craft. I think that she has done justice to bringing soul and emotion into her knitted paintings.
