Mac Pearson

Mac Pearson is a contemporary visual artist whose work explores the intersection of memory, identity, and environment through a multidisciplinary approach. Born in 1987 in Portland, Oregon, Pearson developed an early fascination with the interplay between urban landscapes and the natural world—a theme that has remained central throughout their artistic career. After studying Fine Arts at the Rhode Island School of Design, Pearson embarked on a journey that has taken them from solo exhibitions in New York and Los Angeles to collaborative installations in Berlin and Tokyo.

Known for blending traditional painting techniques with found materials and digital media, Pearson challenges audiences to reconsider the boundaries between the organic and the constructed. Their evocative works often feature layered textures, fragments of personal ephemera, and subtle references to environmental change, inviting viewers to reflect on collective and individual narratives. Pearson’s art has been shown in major galleries and is included in several prominent public and private collections.

In addition to their studio practice, Pearson is an advocate for arts education and frequently leads community workshops aimed at fostering creativity and environmental stewardship.
