Polly Marix Evans is an award-winning contemporary artist and printmaker based in Cumbria.

She works primarily in linocut, creating prints that show contrasting areas of black on white, with the occasional bold block of colour, and sharp angles encasing her figurative work.

Polly’s approach to block printing offers a unique and refreshing perspective on this medium, emphasising compositional space over realistic detail.

Combining the quirky with deeper issues, her art offers something for everyone in the emotional tombola of life.

‘I draw and print what I feel. I see my emotions as images inside my head. They can’t stay there – I need to let them out.’

Polly’s work has garnered acclaim over the past decade, with her limited-edition prints displayed in selected galleries and private collections, both in the UK and internationally.
