Bobby Pearce Biography

Bobby Pearce is one of the most popular and richest Olympic Athlete who was born on February 15, 1961 in Double Bay, New South Wales, Australia. Bobby Pearce (born February 15 1961) is an Tony Award nominated American costume designer for film, stage and television. He is a resident of New York City.

In August of 2016, Pearce released his first craft book, The Art of Paper Flowers which was released through Creative Publishing International in hardback format. Rosie O’Donnell says in the introduction to the book: “I love this book. Not because my friend Bobby–or as I like to call him, Tony- nominated Costume Designer Bobby Pearce–wrote it, but because it’s exquisite and beautiful … He was the secret sauce that made my own craft book the success that it was … He’s the real deal, and so is The Art of Paper Flowers. Enjoy it in as many ways as you like: for the beauty in its pages, the humor and heart in its words, or the patterns and instructions that will let you create crafts as beautiful as Bobby’s. Me, I’m going for all three.”

A little over a year after its initial release, The Art of Paper Flowers was awarded the Amazon Editors’ Holiday Gift Choose in the categories of Design, Construct and Create! and was put into the second edition. The book received a favourable review: “You’ll want to run to the craft store for supplies when you see the gorgeous paper blooms Bobby Pearce created for this easy-to-follow book. Using his grandmother’s full-size patterns from more than 40 years ago, Pearce instructs readers on how to make 35 flower varieties– some so lifelike you’ll swear they grew in the garden.” The magazine is called ‘Country Woman’. Publisher Weekly declared: “Gorgeous pictures make it immediately clear why one would want to devote time to making paper flowers rather than buying silk flora at the craft store, and the range of flowers adds to the book’s appeal. This is a fantastic mix of inspiration and real care in pattern making.”
