BIO

Polina Vee has been working with textiles for 13 years and holds a BFA as a textile designer. For six years, she worked as a leading artist in one of the top Russian textile design studios. Although born and brought up in Russia, she has always had a desire to experience living in a diverse location.

​

In 2019, Polina moved to the USA. Her immigration journey has been profound and transformative, leading her to position herself as a visual artist. Embracing interdisciplinary approaches, she works with a range of media, including textiles, embroidery, sculpture, and installation.

​

In 2023, Polina had two solo shows: "Featured Show" at Frank Gallery and "Vulnerable Reality" at EUtopia Design Gallery (Durham, NC). In 2022, her textile sculpture "The Well" won Best in Show at the 43rd Annual National Juried Art Show (Goldsboro, NC). In 2023, the same sculpture secured 3rd place in the National Multi-Media Juried Art Show (Wilson, NC).

​

Scheduled for the year 2024 are two solo shows—one at the Horace Williams House (Chapel Hill, NC), and the other at Peel Gallery (Carrboro, NC). Additionally, she has secured three residencies across Pennsylvania, Virginia, and North Carolina.

 

Polina actively participates in numerous group exhibitions across various locations, including New York, North Carolina, Louisiana, and Texas.

​

Polina aspires to be a part of the fusion of American culture and contribute her unique perspective to this blend of cultures.
