Sara Linda Poly
“The thing I like about painting is that it captures the moment. I love the edges, curves, textures, light patterns, colors and beauty of the land and sky. I love both the subtle and dramatic changes in the weather and seasons and how they affect the quality of light. As an artist I truly appreciate the chance to share my vision.”
