Molly Dee’s Legacy Lives On | Virginia Beach News

Discover the captivating legacy of Molly Dee, a self-taught artist whose bold, unframed canvases inspired by vintage photos are now on display in “Wish You Were Here” at The Garage Gallery. Once an art teacher from Buffalo, she began painting Nantucket scenes during her 1960 honeymoon and later pursued her career full-time after raising five kids—eventually landing at South Wharf Gallery in 1986, where she stayed for 25 years. Her daughter Linda Koller, now based in Virginia Beach, brought her mother’s work to this special exhibition, honoring her love for the local coast and her iconic style featuring sepia tones and sweeping coastal, sporting, and historical imagery. Featuring pieces like a massive 72x53-inch wild pony canvas and even her original brushes and smock on display, this free show is a rare tribute to an artist whose work graced national magazines and was collected by notable figures—including Frank and Kathy Lee Gifford.
