Artist's right hand is insured for £1m
Pollyanna Pickering
Tetley Tea has insured a tea blender’s tastebuds for £1 million but it is not just tastebuds that are valuable - wildlife artist Pollyanna Pickering’s right hand is insured for £1 million by her publishers!
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.
