Birds and Wildflowers of Illinois: Paintings by Molly Cranch
Solo Exhibition at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, 2025


















My paintings are defined by a soft color palette and layered mark-making. Working in acrylic on canvas, I capture fleeting moments in nature by pairing local birds with insects, animals, and abstracted botanicals.
I have exhibited my work in galleries across the United States, and my paintings are held in both private and public collections. Original works are available through my shop page or Etsy, and I also welcome commissions.
