Swimming with Turtles
36"x36"
This quilt takes me back to times I’ve had snorkeling, and scuba diving on coral reefs with sea turtles. Green turtles like this one feed primarily on seagrasses and algae aiding the reef ecosystem with their nutrient-rich waste. Classified as endangered, green turtles are threatened by harvesting of their eggs, hunting of adults, entrapment in fishing gear and loss of nesting sites. The porthole serves as a focal point.
All of the works depicted here are my original designs, adaptations of traditional quilt blocks, or are original designs based on art works by my mother, Emily Pearce. Enjoy!

I grew up literally swimming with dolphins, water skiing next to alligators, scuba diving with manatee, and on coral reefs with barracuda, body surfing with sting rays, and more. Water and aquatic creatures were part of my existence and feature heavily in my work.
My avocations are quilt artist, trumpet player, and gardener. My profession is Ph.D. Computer Scientist. All of these disparate activities feed on one another and make me who I am and they are all my media.
•My passions include all forms of flora and fauna.
•I am deeply committed to the environment and saving our planet.
•Saving the wonderful wildlife, aquatic life, and plants from terra firma to the oceans are the themes that drive my art.
News includes announcement about shows, web site changes, and completion of new quilts.
