Molly McGrath is an artist based in the Gilman District of Berkeley, California. Molly is professionally trained as an architect, and after using a laser cutter to make architectural models, she recognized the machine’s unique potential to make highly detailed and precise functional art. 

Molly's work lies at the intersection of architecture, botany, textile design, and graphic design. Questions that preoccupy her design process are: how do you abstract the form of something to achieve its essence? How do you compose a pattern with the right balance of positive and negative? What colors work together to achieve visual harmony? 

Her approach is heavily influenced by her background in architecture - countless hours in the studio experimenting with a concept and how best to execute that concept materially. Above all, she is always looking for new and interesting ways to use Larry and Lola, her trusty lasercutters.
