Publisher's Synopsis
Pearson has travelled widely, having participated in exhibitons and artist's residencies in New york, Berlin, Norway, Poland, Mexico and Australia. When on the road or at residencies, he generally works on paper and at a small scale, as well as writing in his journal. His small pieces later feed into large paintings once he is back in his Kelowna studio. An award-winning artist, Pearson has been Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia Okanagan in Kelowna, Canada, since 1991.

There is also a transcription of an interview with the artist by internationally known Canadian writer and curator Ihor Holubizky.
