Mo’Ney Marie Pearl
Mo’Ney Marie Pearl is a Pittsburgh-based photographer who turned her lifelong passion into a full-time career in 2020, bringing three decades of knowledge to her craft. Her warming presence behind the lens ensures that every subject subject truly feels seen. Mo’Ney’s signature style intentionally blends color, light, contrast, and vibrancy for optimal zest. Vibrancy alone is utilized to speak stronger emotions than one’s typical bright color palette, and yet, that feeling equally translates in her black-and-white photography. Navigating daily life with chronic pain and anxiety, her artistic practice breathes resilience, fine-tuning her perception towards energy shifts, moments of vulnerability, and connection. Her portfolio includes (without limitation) portraiture, live events and weddings, candid moments, the natural world, abstracts, and even food.
Mo’Ney has showcased works nationally within various spaces in Seattle, on a billboard in Times Square, Art for Change TheBlackTeaBrownSuga Network), and Mind Blown IV: Dreamscapes (Mindblown Arts & Culture, 2024). Additional accolades include being named an Art All Over recipient(Casey Droege Cultural Productions, 2024), leading to a featured 3-month public showcase and running a live-portrait workshop. Working alongside her husband and creative partner Donnell Pearl, she’s dedicated to visual storytelling through a vast array of techniques.
