"My Life of Extremes; I paint the lives of "Clochards & Royalty"...

Born in San Francisco, California, out of a Dutch traditional artistic family, Amy Polling has also French blood running through her veins! She lived in various countries in the world and considers herself as an "European citizen with an American Topping".
She gets her inspiration from her own life experiences and through her early travels around the world, where she came in contact with people from all sorts of backgrounds & cultures; the Bedouin, Clochards & Royality..
Amy feels especially drawn to people with a tremendous Passion for Life and who possess a charismatic enlightenment; "the Bohemian" and "the Elite", such as, Musicians, Dancers, Pierrot's...people, who have experienced "Life" from all corners and yet kept "grounded" with their "Being" and their Inner Strenght...and, who still dare to dream their dreams..
In her paintings there is a strong influence of her theatrical background:
a sense of Drama, Poetry and Music. She paints Masculine with Passion, and Feminine with Sensuality, Serenity and Mystique..
