Received a BA in Art History and Fine Arts from the University of Kansas. While working in sales and marketing she took studio drawing and painting classes including life painting at the Arts Students League in New York City.  

After moving back to California, she painted in a studio setting with Anne Marie Glover and learned to paint plein air from Pam Glover during the last years of her life.

Currently painting plein air with the Glover Group named in honor of their teacher Pam Glover after her death in 2010. Over the years Polly has juggled raising three sons with days painting at locations all over the Bay Area.  Afternoon school pick up of her children forced her to work quickly and become an efficient painter.
