Lot 27 Mollie Douthit Malmo, Sweden For the Guild, 2025 Oil on linen panel 13.75 x 10.5 inches $1,300-1,500 Originally from North Dakota, Douthit has lived and worked for many years in Ireland, and is now based in Malmö, Sweden. She holds a BFA from the University of North Dakota; Post Baccalaureate from Tufts University, Boston; and an MFA from Burren College of Art, NUIG. In the artist's own words, I paint scenes from my life to visually communicate my emotional connections to objects, people, and places.  From memory I draw the scenes out: the layout of a room, the color of the carpet, and texture of interior walls. Oftentimes, I paint from a bird’s eye view — coming in from above and floating through the architecture, as if I am watching events unfold rather than participating in them. This can result in distorted perspectives such as doorways being foreshortened, and walls elongated. I see these paintings as works of autobiographical fiction, and in the process of creating them, I have become aware of the fragility of memory.
