Molly Schmid, painter, creative designer, brings to the world of art a fresh gift. Though raised in a home suffused with classical painting, music, and literature, her drive to paint emerged only with maturity. Though undoubtedly touched by the work of her father, the artist Richard Schmid, she steadfastly pursues her own style and outlook. Well on the road now to recognition, her work has been commissioned throughout the United States and Canada. She is represented in the permanent collection of the State of Florida, as well as private, corporate, and museum collections.

A New Englander by birth, but a resident of Northern Florida, she excelled academically at Florida State University, graduating magna cum laude, with a degree in fine art. Working initially in the field of creative design in partnership with her husband, Keith Padgett, an accomplished artist in his own right, she concentrates now on portraiture, figure painting, and wildlife art.

Underlying and guiding her focus on technical excellence, is a dedication to personal self-expression sincerely voiced in her attitude toward her life and work, “...art expresses so beautifully what ordinary words cannot" - what a blessing it is to be a part of this miracle we call life!”
