About
Polly studied Art History at the University of St Andrews (2012) and has always painted for pleasure. She began selling her work in 2021, and in 2022 made painting her sole occupation. Her paintings are now collected worldwide and she has quickly gained representation by a handful of select UK galleries. Polly lives in North Somerset (near Bristol, UK) and much of her work is inspired by the surrounding landscape and the South West Coast.
