ARTIST SHORT BIO
Pearl is an impressionist painter based in Virginia who creates paintings that are energetic, expressive, and characterized by a deliberate balance between rendering and abstraction. She began working in oils over a decade ago while she was studying medicine, driven to pursue a dream she had as a child that she could no longer set aside.

She continues to balance her life as an ER physician and as a professional artist. Pearl is particularly drawn to scenes with movement and a strong sense of light, enjoying the feeling and energy of brush in hand as an extension of her spirit.

Her work has been accepted into multiple American Impressionist Society exhibitions including most recently the National Juried exhibition in 2025. She has collected various distinctions at plein air events along the east coast and was awarded the Gino Award (Best in Show) at Paint It! Ellicott City in 2022.
