Artful Pearl
Founded by Mary, a caregiver to her daughter Pearlyn, a 14-year-old autistic girl, Artful Pearl was created to provide Pearlyn with meaningful opportunities to engage independently through art. The hands-on making supports her understanding of working life and furthers her development in social and life skills. Artful Pearl features Pearlyn’s diamond art creations, including tissue holders, coasters, and canvas artworks, each crafted with care and focus as part of her creative journey.
