Pearl Hansen: Landscapes or Pearlscapes

A native of northeast Nebraska, Pearl Hansen resides on her farm outside of Wayne. Pearl is newly retired following a wonderful career teaching at Wayne State College in the Department of Art and Design. She earned her undergraduate degree in art education at Wayne State College, Masters in Sculpture from Kansas State, and a Ph. D. from University of Nebraska, Lincoln. Her small farm is where the landscape serves as inspiration for her work. Pearl likes to take the roads less traveled so she is quite familiar with most back roads of northeast Nebraska where not as many people go. Pearl is just finishing a new studio on her farm and looks forward to the artwork that lies ahead.
