ABOUT PEARL PRESS
An online publication that strives to build a proud community of diverse voices. Pearl comes from the founder's grandmother's Yiddish name, Polina. The founder's grandparents were both artistic and creative in everything they did. Her grandfather, a writer and painter who always wanted to capture his muse, Polina, in the most beautiful of ways.
It was important to them to have many artist's voices celebrated and heard in their life. The founder wanted to continue this passion for art through Pearl Press by growing a community of artists who are looking to uplift one another.
CURRENT ISSUE
Seed
Family is a rounded out word with meaning both beautiful and heavy. Family is who we are and who we sometimes fear to be. Family is growing up and leaning against. Family is sometimes our face and sometimes our friends.
We mature from our roots, but we never escape them. The growth can be carried through to a new seed and sometimes not. Family is different for everyone and yet the sentiment is the same.

@dustyphotoboy: A lot of times I do bring my camera with me. Although sometimes I feel it’s as inspiring to experience a place by taking it all in without pulling out the camera. You see the world in a different way if you don’t have your camera. Those thoughts during the times without my camera create future images.

@dustyphotoboy: I love to climb mountains because of the perspective, I’m sure it comes from being in the air so much. My favorite routes for looking out the window are the ones from Colorado to the West Coast. Flying over the Colorado Rockies and the Sierras always has me peeking out the window between beverage services. I have found amazing places to hike and mountains to climb by seeing them from the sky and then looking at how I can access them on the ground.
