About Pearl

I was a very active child and the only way my parents could get me to sit down was to give me crayons and paper. Later, I received art supplies, which I still have and treasure.  Although I have had many careers, I have always painted. 

My paintings embody the essence of light and shadow.  I transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, making light and shadow the new norm, which gives my work a sense of power and grace. My paintings come to life with a tapestry of color and shadows.

After viewing my paintings, people have told me that no long see the world in the same way.  They find themselves transfixed, everything is forgotten, and their view of the world is transformed.

I am a lover of flowers and I am fortunate to have a floral garden to draw endless inspiration from. The light caressing each flower in the garden, albeit fleetingly, can be delicate or bold.  My travels around the world have given me a treasure trove of sketches and images for a lifetime of landscapes to paint.  As a former professional photographer, with an innate sense of composition, my painting retain their sense of realism.

For me, flowers are the most delicate reminder of life's journey. Their growth represents the sequence of life passing by. The flowers bud, bloom, and dies. Capturing their beauty is a race against time.  

My lifetime love of animals have lead me to commissions of many beloved pets.  

My work can be found in private collections around the world and in the Cayman Islands National Museum.

I am proud to be a member of Oil Painters of America, the Cambridge and Newton Art Associations.
