Pearl Minor is a visual artist with more than 30 years of experience in painting, drawing, and public art. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Western Washington University, where she established the artistic foundation that has guided her multidisciplinary practice. Before relocating to Atlanta, Pearl spent many years in Los Angeles as a public school Visual Arts and Career Technical Education instructor. There, she developed a thriving visual arts department and secured a $237,000 grant to create a successful Career Technical Education program in Art, Media, and Entertainment, expanding opportunities for students through arts education. In Atlanta, Pearl founded Making Murals LLC, a company dedicated to transforming public and commercial spaces through murals, hand-painted signage, and site-specific artwork. Guided by the belief that art can elevate environments and strengthen community connections, her work is inspired by nature and the diverse cultures of the neighborhoods she serves.

A collaborative artist, Pearl enjoys partnering with organizations, municipalities, and fellow creatives to produce engaging large-scale public art. Her recent collaborations include contributing to public art projects with Living Walls for the FIFA World Cup 2026™.
