At MassArt, on the advice of Professor Ron Hayes (co-developer of Windsor & Newton's Acrylic formula), Bryan learned, for the owners and collectors of his work, to produce legacy quality investment art of paramount calibre. Molloy Studios uses the highest quality Windsor & Newton paints, Rembrandt paints, and heavy-duty, wagon-grade canvas. Molloy works closely with third-generation Framer, Rick Walker of Walker's Framing. This ensures that a work by Bryan Thomas Molloy will last a minimum of 400 years, as an heirloom to many.
Currently, Molloy is working in an impressionist- realism style, painting everything from landscapes, portraits, and private commissions. Bryan donates his work and his time regularly to charities such as Habitat for Humanity, Aids Community Alliance, United CerebralPalsy, Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts, Keystone Human Services, Art Association of Harrisburg.
Bryan co-created the popular ONSE series of one-night exhibits in local (Harrisburg, PA, U.S.A) restaurants and other night spots. He volunteered as Event Coordinator for a year.
Bryan is working in
Harrisburg
part-time as a Gallery Assistant

portraits, and is painting several personal series, including a series of views
from the Pennsylvania Turnpike, a
Steelton Steel Mill Series, views
of the Susquehanna River, and a Rugby
series. 
”I am not a plein air painter. Like those I emulate; the Renaisannce Masters, the French Academic Masters, the English Portrait Masters, and traditional academic technique; I am a studio painter. The brash elements, unwieldy and delicate equipment are not well suited, in my opinion, to such a fine operation as painting. I prefer instead the comfort of my studio, where I can dedicate more of my attention toward my work… to be absolutely indebted fully to concentration. As with decent conversation, the speaker is best heard when given one's fullest attention.
I believe in technology. A professor @ MASSART (Irena Roman) said once that if technology was present in it's current forms @ the time of Michelangelo & DaVinci, they would have appreciated it's usefulness as a valuable tool to aid in their endeavors.
My "style" is a product of my education in Boston, combined with my appreciation of ancient Chinese painting. My parents attended a church to which a majority of the "flock" were first generation Chinese immigrants, fresh from the travel. Resultingly, teachings, methodology and practice (the authorities there also being Chinese) were imparted to me as through a Chinese filter. In college @ MASSART, in an “Art of Ancient China” class, the Professor (a Grad- student from China) was so enamored of my understanding and description of Zen Buddhist teachings and their influence and evidence in a particular Ancient Chinese Master's painting— that she begged me to carefully correct the grammar and polish the presentation of the paper I had written hastily… so that she could have it published.
MASSART influenced me tremendously. Especially with frequent, mandatory trips to the Museum of Fine Arts, Harvard's Fogg and Peabody Museums, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Boston's severely defined stoic cultural prowess did too. But much more influential, to me however, was the regional stress Boston placed upon her beloved “supertalent” John Singer Sargent (and the Impressionist wake of devotion found in his hereafter)! A fast-drawn riptide of which, tempered and tossed me, most affectionately in that resulting tsunami. I therefore am most definitely a product of my environment— I emulate Sargent (and the Kennedy boys) to the best of my ability. And not only Sargent, of course... his compatriots Dennis Miller Bunker, the Expatriates of that period; Whistler and the like. I then followed the tree's branch the way back to Diégo Velázquez and found Goya, spent a moment's respite with Edvard Münch and the Expressionists, dabbled intellectually with Umbérto Boccioni and the Futurists. Then after much searching and intense study, my heart felt at home, and I began to waddle my brush. Waddling I, now as then, through strange Oriental, Calligraphic, Expressionist, Impressionist finesses. Goya's small Expressionistic figures in the background of certain of his works, painted with merely three few strokes, are forever reeling and reveling in the back of my mind.”
