Although Pollyanna, who lives in Derbyshire, is renowned for her expeditions into remote and often dangerous regions to paint her wild subjects in their natural habitats - she has been charged by a wild tiger and found scorpions in her camp be. “I am not allowed to go skiing, rock-climbing or even to sculpt,” she admits. Pollyanna is currently in the second week of her annual exhibition, which is proving to be one of the busiest she has ever had.
