Artist Bio

Polla Posavec is an award-winning, professional visual artist residing in Chittering, Western Australia.

A Fine Arts graduate of the University of Western Australia, she now specialises in watercolour painting. Her work often explores the intimate landscapes of life close up—portraiture, still life, and the flora and fauna of her region.

Polla concluded twelve years on the Ellenbrook Cultural Foundation Board with a year as chair in 2024-25.  She currently sits on the committee for the Watercolour Society of WA. As a volunteer and participant with these and other organisations that encourage community arts development, Polla is passionate about making the arts a visible, everyday part of community life—an often underrated but essential thread in the fabric of thriving neighbourhoods.

Dedicated to sharing her medium with others, Polla regularly runs watercolour workshops and has tutored with Tresillian Arts Centre and Army Art WA, the latter providing creativity and well being programs through teaching art to serving military personnel.

Alongside her art practice, Polla is an experienced graphic designer and personal trainer. She champions creative, simple, healthy, and sustainable living, and enjoys sharing her journey of crafting this lifestyle in rural Western Australia.
