​Meet the Workshop Leader:

Polly Castor

Polly Castor is a lifelong artist whose passion is abstraction, in the full range from Impressionism  to non-objective art. She emphasizes abstract conceptualism to depict ideas, feelings, and actions.  

Polly’s art celebrates her deep authenticity, an explosion of ideas, vitality, technique, and composition. Interplay and juxtaposition of hue, tone, texture, pattern, and shape, all contribute unity to the fascinating whole in Polly’s paintings.

Polly is eager to share her love of abstract painting, and In this exercise driven workshop, she’ll reinforce the elements essential to effective design. With equal parts lecture, production and discussion, students will work hard and have fun doing it, and emerge motivated and empowered.​

Polly lives in Bethel , CT with her husband. They have 3 grown children. Polly does a rich blog daily at www.pollycastor.com, constantly sharing bright gems and interesting slices of life.
