of Britain!
Many people are familiar with the remarkable journeys Pollyanna
makes in order to study her more exotic subjects in their natural
habitats, in some of the most remote parts of the world. Less
well known are the many journeys she makes within the British
Isles sketching and studying our own birds and mammals in the
wild!
Pollyanna has travelled from rugged Devonshire Moorland to
the spectacular and unrivalled landscapes of the Scottish Highlands
with its seemingly endless forests, through the winding lanes
of Suffolk in a traditional gypsy caravan, in search of hares,
and searched for Red Squirrels in the Lake District.
For fifteen years Pollyanna ran a registered wildlife hospital,
and has visited many other sanctuaries to sketch baby hedgehogs,
badgers and otters.
In the far north of Scotland, she has sketch the Scottish Wildcat
- although not much larger than a domestic cat this elusive
animals is one of the most endangered species of cats in the
entire world.
Her Christmas exhibition held annually in her private gallery
always features paintings of British wildlife and landscapes.
