Hi there! I’m Polly Gentry, a Kansas-based abstract multimedia artist with a love for all things bold, colorful, and whimsical. My artistic journey started as a curious kid in Omaha, NE, where I was lucky enough to grow up in a home filled with the works of Picasso, Miró, Chagall, and more. With a visionary architect for a dad (shoutout to Stanley J. How!), creativity and design were practically in my DNA.

My art is a joyful, vibrant exploration of the world around us, infused with the vivid memories of my travels and the artistic influences that shaped me. I’ve had the thrill of showcasing my work in solo and group exhibitions across the U.S., and I still get a kick out of the fact that my very first student exhibition earned me the William Dickerson Honorary Award of Merit in “painting.” Since then, I’ve been juried into four national exhibitions and have had the honor of seeing my pieces find homes in both private and public collections nationwide.

But the journey doesn’t stop there. As someone who’s always eager to learn and grow, I continue to hone my craft through workshops with artists I admire. Every piece I create is a celebration of color, form, and the pure joy of discovery—whether I’m in the studio or off on a new adventure. Ready to join me on this colorful journey? Let’s create something beautiful together!
