POLLYANNA DEE

Pollyanna: Filipina Visual Artist and Illustrator

Blending Traditional and Digital Art

Pollyanna is a 27-year-old visual artist and book illustrator based in Manila, Philippines. She graduated from the University of the Philippines with a degree in Visual Communication from the College of Fine Arts.

Her unique artistic voice stems from her deep understanding of both traditional and digital media. By seamlessly blending the two, she creates visually rich, emotionally engaging pieces that are distinctly her own.

Art Rooted in Wonder, Positivity, and Growth

Pollyanna’s work explores serenity, innocence, and imagination, all told through characters that evoke childlike curiosity and emotional depth. Her narratives touch on the complexity of life and reality, encouraging viewers to reconnect with joy, playfulness, and hope.

Each artwork is an invitation to celebrate the child within us, to honor the small wonders of life, and to carry a sense of lightness into adulthood.

About “Polly”: A Bloom of Hope and Beauty

The Hydrangea Muse

At the center of Pollyanna’s artistic world is “Polly”—a symbolic figure inspired by the hydrangea flower. Polly represents the beauty of resilience and the power of positivity, blooming even through darkness and rain.

Her glowing aura and ever-changing petals reflect the shifting emotions and transient nature of life. Through Polly, the artist reminds us to notice the small miracles and moments of quiet magic that surround us.

A Journey Through an Imaginary World

Polly lives in a soft, dreamlike universe where she encounters other companions—each one representing friendship, support, and emotional growth. Together, they navigate this ethereal realm, revealing stories of inner strength and healing.

Every brushstroke and detail in Pollyanna’s work speaks to the importance of connection, gratitude, and inner peace. Polly is more than just a character—she is a beacon of light in a world that often forgets how to wonder.
