Molnar’s training in both science and art informs her practice. She previously worked as an Art Director with Scientific American and later founded and directed the Art + Ecology program at the Pacific Northwest College of Art, as well as helping found and direct the backcountry artist residency Signal Fire.
Her poems and essays are created alongside the pigments and paintings; the practices overlap and influence each other to create new ecologies: paintings, books, poems, essays, exhibits, and installations.
Her debut book CHORUS won the 2024 Stafford/Hall Oregon Book Award for Poetry and was selected by Kazim Ali as the winner of Omnidawn Press’ 1st/2nd Book Award. Forthcoming books include: PROTOCOLS (Ayin Press, 2025), Memory of a Larger Mind (Omnidawn, 2028) and Light / Remains (Bored Wolves Press, 2026). Her work is anthologized in the forthcoming second volume of The Ecopoetry Anthology and in Breaking the Glass: A Contemporary Jewish Poetry Anthology. Her book-length poem “Memory of a Larger Mind” accompanies photographs by Julian Stettler in The Glacier is a Being (Sturm & Drang, 2023).
