About your Teacher

PollyannaR passionate about empowering people and regenerating places through art and activism, she has found strength is in linking ideas, connecting people and facilitating community arts to grow in regional areas. Her new Gallery Studio space in Morwell is very the physical extension of these values.

Born in 1989 in rural Victoria, PollyannaR spent the first 15 years of her life illiterate due to her severe dyslexia. At age 16, she started taking photos of all the wonderful, complicated and beautiful world she noticed in everyday life that she could never put a pen to paper to write about. Now she uses any mediums and platforms the work calls for.

Most days you can find her water colouring beautiful scenes across Gippsland bringing them into homes across the world.

Artist PollyannaR is celebrating the LGBTQI+ icons and activists of Gippsland. The exhibition features watercolour portraits, documentaries, Ido photo booth & the Ido Support LGBTQI+ in Gippsland archives.

In a regional town, visibility of the LGBTQI+ community can be the difference between life or death for questioning youth and adults alike.

Icons and activists that choose with pride, to live their lives out loud in their communities and publicly campaign for equal rights not only put themselves but their family at risk.

This exhibition commemorates these amazing people, and all that they have contributed to making regional areas a safer, more vibrant and prideful place for the whole rainbow community to live in.

This exhibition is proudly apart of Melbourne Pride regional events & Midsummer
