Molly C. Meng
Artist, Teacher, Storyteller
Molly C. Meng is a self-taught artist whose work begins with what others leave behind — vintage paper, discarded photographs, old ledgers, forgotten books. Through collage, textiles, and mixed media, she transforms these materials into objects that carry new meaning.
Over nearly three decades, she has moved through distinct creative chapters in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and now New Hampshire's Seacoast — exhibiting in galleries and museums, teaching workshops, and building creative communities wherever she lands.
Today, all of those threads come together on the Seacoast: she makes, teaches, shows, and tells stories — often in the same week.
An entirely new body of work created for the Players' Ring, inspired by the history of Portsmouth's Puddle Dock neighborhood and the Strawbery Banke area.
Regular workshops in suminagashi, cyanotype, block printing, boro patchwork, paper weaving, and more. Check The Word Barn for upcoming dates and registration.
Working with speakers to prepare for the monthly CreativeMornings breakfast talks on the Seacoast.
