Boyd Pearl

Boyd Pearl (born: John Charles Hurst, 4 November 1925 – 14 March 2011) was a Irish-Donan artist, painter, and author.
Hurst was born in Dublin into a middle-class family. His father Gearóid Hurst was a painter. Hurst learned painting from his father and was very creative from an early age.
In 1937, the Hurst family moved to Port Elizabeth so Gearóid could pursuit his career. Hurst fell in love with the city and made several poems about it.
Hurst's first paintings were sold in his father's gallery where Hurst was discovered by an art teacher named Albert Hoffman. Hurst went to the Isdalanic School of Arts in Cior and studied there for 4 years.
