Massachusetts-born (Newton nr Boston) artist, aspects of his earlier life and education as well as his later life and movements, are covered in biographical material gathered for the publication of the life and journal of his friend, John Pius Boland, an Irishman and tennis player who he first met in Germany in the early days of the modern Olympic games.
Moving with his family to St Ives, he married Theresa Freeman, niece of artists Mary Winifrede FREEMAN and Charles Napier HEMY. His address for submissions was Seaforth, St Ives.
His painting Old Studio is mentioned in the St Ives Times report of the March Show Day of 1911, indicating that he had left before that date. Wood mentions a painting The Rain Squall that Pazolt had showed at the RA from St Ives in 1901. Whybrow mentions the artist in passing related to the St Ives Arts Club (1903). Pazolt took British nationality in 1934.

The artist exhibited two paintings at NAG in 1937. Her address was in Newquay, and she exhibited at SWA over the following two years. Three of her works are in the art collection held by Newquay Hospital, where the information given shows that she was painting actively in that area of Cornwall throughout the 1950s.
Pearce's work shows mastery of drawing and painting, illustrating complex landscapes but with the touch of the impressionist. She was clearly an accomplished painter.

Pearce achieved a great following and success as an artist in spite of being brain damaged by phenylketonuria. His career as an artist was directed and supported through the skillful care and acumen of his mother, Mary PEARCE, also a painter, and a good friend of many artists.
He was born in St Ives, and lived out his life there, painting "all the places in St Ives, the harbour, the church, Market Place" his favoured subjects being seascapes and landscapes, though he also liked flower painting. His intense interest in patterns and designs often found Pearce standing in the Penwith Gallery staring at a blouse or pair of patterned trousers, lost in the world of imprinting those 'pictures' for future use.
His remarkable story is told warmly in several biographical works listed below, beginning with the earliest by Ruth Jones, through to the most recent revision (2008) of Marion Whybrow's Bryan Pearce - A Private View, first published in 1985. His many friends, carers, and admirers who surrounded and supported him in life contributed greatly to the publications about his work.
Gemma Pearce was born in Dorset and spent her childhood on the Isle of Purbeck. From a family of artists, she became a student at Bournemouth & Poole College of Art & Design. She then took a BA (Hons) degree in illustration from Bath University, and has come to painting by this route. Since 2000 she has been living in Mousehole. With her friend the jeweller, Leigh BERRY, she was a partner in the running of the Seastar Gallery in Mousehole. Through the gallery, now the Julia Mills Gallery, much work of local artists can be viewed on a regular basis.
Born in Crowlas, near Penzance, to the Warmington family, she married Walter Pearce in 1928. Her first child, Bryan PEARCE, became the celebrated naive painter. She began to paint in the early 1950s and exhibited in mixed shows at the Penwith Gallery, as an associate of the Penwith Society of Arts from 1956-63. She also attended the St Ives School of Painting, as did her son. They exhibited together at Penwith and Newlyn Galleries, and later in their attic studios at home. She stopped painting herself to manage her son's artistic career, which she did with flair and enthusiasm and great loving care until her death in St Ives.
Her friends among women in St Ives were artists Marjorie MOSTYN, Isobel HEATH, Shearer ARMSTRONG and Misomé PEILE, as mentioned by Janet AXTEN in her delightful book, Bryan Pearce and his Artist Friends (2004). One of her portraits, Greta, Daughter of Sven BERLIN, 1958, is included as a colour plate in that book (p42).

Pontefract and lived in London and St Mawes, Cornwall, the artist produced a phenomenal 107 works now in Imperial War Museum. Having served as the official Naval War Artist in both World Wars, he also produced lithographs for propaganda purposes in WWI and painted naval subjects for the War Artists Committee in WWII.
In 1930s, he continued both his marine painting and poster work and became in demand from railway companies for tourism posters. He wrote several books on sailing and was a keen sailor himself. Out-spoken critic of modern art.
Pearson was the son of William, a journeyman broom maker, and Eliza, and was born in Lambeth. In the 1880s he took up a traineeship in metalwork with the Home Arts and Industries Association in London. He became a ceramics designer and decorator with William de Morgan working with decorative tiles and blanks, the patterns of which were later reproduced in his copper work designs. While working with de Morgan and in ill health, he was discovered by C R Ashbee, the designer and social idealist, who offered him the chance to be a founder member of the Guild of Handicraft, a co-operative of Craftsmen then being set up in Whitechapel. He and John Williams became the Guild's first metalworkers in 1888.
Following a dispute with his colleagues, Pearson resigned, and for a time he worked independently both as a ceramics designer and as a maker of repousse metalware - mostly in copper - producing chargers, vases, firescreens, mirror frames and the like. A few months later, he was invited by John Drew MacKENZIE, a young painter and designer, to join him in Newlyn where he would instruct the teachers in the Industrial Class set up to help young fishermen learn new skills. Moreover, Pearson was able to bring with him improved techniques, most notably the jealously guarded innovation of beating the copper out against a block of lead rather than the much less responsive pitch.
Pearson stayed in Newlyn for some six years, and the designs originating from his de Morgan days (mythological dragons, strange animals and birds, galleons, trees and fruit) can be seen in both his own work of this period and in the work of the students. He learned new and more local subjects derived from the sea and the local landscape. Towards the end of the 1890s, Pearson returned permanently to London, and in 1901 acquired a new home and workshop in Hanway Street (W1). He continued to teach from there, to decorate ceramics and to beat copper, and both Liberty and Morris sold his work in this period. In 1929, he closed his workshop and retired to Canvey Island(Essex ), where, a few months later, he died. At his death, his occupation was described as 'art connoisseur'.

In 1989 she moved to Cornwall, settling in Redruth, where she works from a studio in the garden of her home. She made the transition from figurative work to abstraction in 2009, when a fascination for pebbles inispired her to create paintings based on their natural patterns.
Caroline Pedler was born in Cornwall but moved away to Portsmouth, then Bristol and Bath, returning to the county in 2005.
