Molly Lamb Bobak is one of the most highly respected senior artists working in Canada today. Her great ability to render vitality through form in both watercolor and oil has become a stylistic trademark of her painting over the years.

Molly Lamb was born in Burnaby, British Columbia in 1922 and received much of her formal schooling in Vancouver. In 1938 her strong interest and ability in art led her to the Vancouver School of Art where she seriously pursued drawing and painting and was strongly influenced by Jack Shadbolt. Upon graduation in 1942, she joined the Canadian Women's Army Corps and become the first woman to be officially designated as a war artist in Canada. While in London, Molly Lamb met fellow war artist Bruno Bobak, developed a lifelong relationship, and following the war, they returned to Canada, were married and eventually settled in North Vancouver, In 1957 the Bobaks moved to Fredericton, New Brunswick where they have maintained active careers as artists.

Since 1945, Molly Lamb Bobak has worked both as a teacher and as an artist, sharing her enthusiasm for art with countless students and audiences across the country. As an artist, she has focussed primarily on two themes over the years: crowds of people and floral compositions. These themes have allowed her to explore the things she feels most strongly about: paint, composition and the dynamics of moving human form. She is also the author of a book containing her own watercolours entitled "Wild Flowers of Canada", has illustrated two childrens' books "Toes in My Nose" and "Merry-Go-Day" and most recently has been featured in a book illustrating her war diary called "Double Duty". Molly Lamb Bobak is a prolific painter and has exhibited internationally in England, Germany, Switzerland and Brazil. She also has had one person shows in most major cities in Canada. Her work can be found in numerous private and public collections in every region of Canada including the National Gallery in Ottawa.
