Loosely inspired by the feeling of being out in the landscape, as well as reflections on memory, place and imagination. This painting has been created by building and then scraping back layers of paint to reveal fragments of the painting's history.

Polly grew up in East Devon and has always felt a strong connection with the landscape and the sea, which tends to inform the basis of her paintings. She now lives in Bristol and is represented by galleries across the UK.
Using a variety of mixed media, her paintings seek to capture a fleeting moment or emotion while celebrating the joy of gestural mark making. Her approach is largely intuitive; the paintings unfold and develop almost of their own accord and she aims to invite the viewer to find an emotional connection within the painting.
