Hello lovelies! I’m Molly Van Roekel, and I run Blush Bloom Studio!
I have a BFA in painting from Memphis College of Art, and I took a special interdisciplinary course at Missouri State’s Fine Arts Academy. This has led me to understand a deep and fundamental truth: Every person is a creative. Every person has something that can be considered their art form, and their process. Mine happens to be painting. The most open manifestation of our art forms happens when we are creating something special for someone else. A special meal for your loved ones. A silly song for your pet. Or a painting that depicts one of the most important days of your life- your wedding.
I love weddings, I love the atmosphere of celebration- the way I can feel the love between the happy couple and their array of friends and family. I love the heartfelt expressions of joy and the rituals like cutting the cake. It brings me so much joy to dance with a grandma or two, joke around with the bridesmaids and be a part of something unforgettable.
I have worked as a professional illustrator since 2014. I specialize in watercolors, but I am very flexible- I go between digital and traditional art, using the strengths of both to make the best art I can. I’ve illustrated children’s books, made a greeting card line, worked with nonprofits, and many other random assorted creative projects. If you have an idea for a project and you’d like to work with me on it, even if it’s non wedding related, feel free to reach out.
