“Your work is beautiful, provocative and moving. Though I only just recently met you, I have known of you for quite awhile, and your example has been an inspiration to me for years.”
- Nina Gallant, artist
“Even amidst all the buzz and busyness, there was an atmosphere, an aura, a feeling that leapt off the walls so that in the
midst of noise there was quiet and peace and otherness and awe and
amazement. Southeast Asia changed you, and your photos changed all of
us, everyone in the rooms.”
- Jane Keller, writer, about the Layerings exhibition opening
“I was riveted by your new images and the ethereal quality the organza brings. The energy and culture of the area you photographed seems captured in the soft movement – and not framing those pieces, they become quietly and gently sculptural – wow.”
- Carol Cathcart, photographer, about the Layerings exhibition
”I did get to see your work (at Annapolis Collection Gallery), always breath taking and breath giving.”
- Linda Howard, collector
“…Ms. Pearson’s images…transcend the subject of sea glass. Through her sensitivity to the color, shape and surface texture of the glass, her mastery of lighting and her eye for graphic composition, Pearson creates images that read as works of abstract art on many levels….”
- Kirk Nelson, Executive Director, The New Bedford Museum of Glass
“A Celia Pearson photograph invites the viewer to come closer, to see the truth she has seen, to appreciate the pure beauty of nature, to discover something personal.”
- Cynthia McBride, owner McBride Gallery
“Let me take this opportunity to congratulate you on being honored by The Arts Council of Anne Arundel County for your outstanding contribution to the arts. As the recipient of the Visual Arts Award, you should be very proud.”
- Michael E. Busch, Maryland State Delegate
“This artist has an innate ability to find the essence of an object that resonates with beauty.”
- Rhea Felkin, host, Maryland Public Television ArtWorks
“It seems to me you have this gift of being able to make art, to make something that both communicates the beauty you have seen AND is beautiful itself. Your photographs radiate a beauty of their own – you have the ability to capture your vision in such a way that you actually magnify the essence of what you’ve seen.”
- Dorry Lindsey, collector
