ABOUT POLLY KING … AS SAID BY OTHERS


"Polly King is a riddle within an enigma, a many-faceted gem of an artist who can't be narrowed down to a single classification. Her works represent great diversity in subject matter and technique. Here the diversity ends, for there is a consistent quality in her works regardless of medium -- whether it leans towards realism or abstraction. She is never complete completely realistic or purely abstract for she tempers either extreme with echoes of music and poetry composed for the particular occasion."


"Polly King can't be classified as an impressionist for she usually avoids the short strokes of pure colors to be blended by the eye; yet whether her work is principally in line and in flat abstract palette knife planes, one feels she has recorded monetary "fleeting impressions" of a moving subject which may never appear again in the same way."


"Polly King extracts lyrical beauty in all that she sees from the prosaic industrial theme to the ancient art of the Greeks. Her work, covering so many diverse subjects in so many far-flung places, is an invitation to look at the world through the eyes of an artist and the heart of a poet."


"Polly King often uses color with the gay abandon and joy in nature that were characteristic of the impressionists. Polly's paintings of place exude the flavor and atmosphere of each country. The paintings of Greece are full of whiteness and brilliant light. Those from Spain pulsate with vibrant color."


"Polly King -- She works fast. Her pen flies over paper as she captures the movement of a Spanish Toreador, the gaiety of a playground, the architectural delights to be found everywhere."


"What is a Polly King? A Polly King is a wonderfully warm, vibrant absorbing woman with a lust for life rarely found in a human."
