Clina Polloni was born and raised in Chile, South America. After graduating from the University of Chile in 1973, she moved to Raleigh, NC, where she began her lifelong career as a graphic designer.

Clina’s love for the arts began when she was a little girl and was influenced by her great grandfather, Antonio Polloni, who was a celebrated Chilean painter. Throughout her 25 year career as a graphic designer and marketing communications specialist, she has lived and worked in several cities, including Washington, DC., Atlanta, GA., Santiago, Chile, and Raleigh, NC.

After returning to Raleigh several years ago, Clina founded Sandpipers Design LLC, a graphic design firm which specializes in logo design, brochures, brand awareness and commercial web site development.

Adrianita, Julia, Alberto and Clina are brothers and sisters that inherit the love for the arts from their great grandfather, Antonio Polloni. Click here for more information about the Polloni family.

“Aurora’s Children”

Aurora is the morning light that
Awakens our hopes and dreams each
And every day; Mother Earth’s plea for
Peace ,love and brotherhood to prevail
during her children’s work and play.

Memories of a White House

White was the house
green were the trees
memories of a long life left behind
the noise of activity, every day rush was gone...
long ago.

The only thing left was the old couple
in the silence of age,
embraced on a clear spring morning
by the friendly music of their birds
and the bright colors of fresh flowers.
