Back Story
PEARL
One cold dark night Pearl was struck in the eye by a shooting star. Overcome with pain and sorrow she gathered her journal and ukulele and
decided to change her life. She quickly got passage on the S.S. Wherever and stayed on board til the final destination, Key West!
HAZEL
Bereft by the loss of her one true love in a terrible war, Hazel was beside herself with grief. I need a new start she thought and packed her backpack her guitar and her cowboy boots and headed for the nearest Greyhound bus station.
Riding for days she finally got off at the end of the road- Key West!
LATER
The girls met on the bench opposite the Green Parrot and were thrilled to
talk about their common passion for music. Musical instruments were discussed and plans made to do weekly practice.

This photoshoot took place (with gratitude) at the Studios of Key West exhibition:
Michael Ross’s “ House Quilts”.
This photoshoot marked the emergence of the “Pearl & Hazel Experience”.
Purpose:
By using mannequins with no faces I hope to reach people on a human level. These creatures could be any/all of us. They are faceless but have names, thus becoming people with personalities. The ties to us all come from the fact that we all began life as creations, we all have a backstory as to how we landed where we are- I hope to continue expanding on this by developing the girls personalities, adventures and do it with humor, changes of clothing, always with style in mind. My goal is offer smiles through my art.
