Born in Montreal in 1929, Pearl has been involved in the arts since 1962. She received a degree in Fine Arts from Université du Québec à Montréal in 1982, studied in Vermont, and perfected her sculpting skills in Pietrasenta, Italy. For many years, even as she continued developing and exploring her own sculpting technique, casting bronze or sculpting stone, Pearl shared her knowledge and skills by teaching drawing and sculpture. The human form is her greatest inspiration. Whether she chooses a hard line or a soft curve, a smooth or roughened surface, her semi-abstract compositions reveal a perfect balance, capturing the majestic and the sensual.
