Meet Your Hosts
Molly is a Minneapolis based muralist and illustrator. She works with clients of all shapes and sizes to create custom visuals that tell a story and leave an impression. With five years of full-time artistry under her belt and having built a six figure business from the ground up, she knows a thing or two about the importance of balance and rest. Outside of business hours you’ll find her hanging out with her dog, traveling, camping, desperately trying to claim a top spot in bar trivia or maybe even (if you’re lucky) crushing a karaoke tune or two.
Ashtyn is a Minneapolis based fine artist and muralist seeking visual harmony by way of shape, color and composition. Her creative process is fueled by an eagerness to combine colors and an excitement for rearranging shapes. Ashtyn left her day job to pursue her art business full time in 2023 (woohoo!) and has been practicing mindfulness and intentional rest throughout the transition. When she's not working, you can find her sipping coffee and staring out the nearest window.
Glad you asked.
