Polly Little

Medium(s): Painting, Printmaking

Summary/Artist Statement:

I make paintings of animals because their intelligence and pure natural beauty fascinate me. Animal instincts can mirror human behavior, but more often reflect an aspect of survival. Some works refer to the predator-prey relationship, some the possibility of extinction, and some to basic survival. Wild animals learn a lack of trust, while domesticated animals learn trust. Whether this is unnatural or natural not does not matter, but the purity of animals’ action and reaction move me to use animals as subject matter.
My work has always had an expressionist attitude. The energetic brush strokes and chisel marks suggest constant change or movement and reflect the constant changes and challenges of life in all its forms.
