Dear Daughters Design is the New Jersey-based fine art studio of Pearl Lui. Pearl hand-paints moody, luminous portraits of bees, birds, flowers, goats, seashells, and more for the bold art collector with a modern traditional home that is a little moody, a little whimsical, and a lot of love for the natural world. The name Dear Daughters is a salutation to all women, rooted in the tradition of calligraphy and scrapbooking. Prints and greeting cards for wholesale to independent boutiques and gift shops.

Matriarch: A Seashell Collection
For the mermaids as strong as calcium carbonate and as vibrant as iridescence. 🦪🐚
The essence of Mother of Pearl embodies nurturing and balanced energy. And while my last collection of shells were made for the girls with salt in their hair and pockets full of shells, this second collection of shells, comprised of six distinct paintings is for all the women who have weathered the tides, grown strong voices, and who remain true to themselves.
Whether they’re in a role mothering children and / or in a role of mothering the world, as leaders and friends, this one is for them. Our worlds are brighter for mother figures in our lives.
A nod to all mothers, I present “The Matriarch: A Seashell Collection”.
