About Pollyzoom
​I knew as a child that I would be involved in the arts.  I was drawn in that direction early on in life.  Over the years I have taught many, been an arts administrator, actor, musician, professional artist. I  continue the process of using the creative force as part of the process of my life.  Art has given humanity a balance, peace, a place to find themselves.  As I evolve as an artist I continue to grow and learn and share my work in hopes that the next generation will keep art alive and well on higher levels. It has been an honor to work in the arts with wonderful people who taught me to enjoy the process.
