About the artist:

Born in Montana in 1914, Pascal was born with a hearing loss and learned to communicate by drawing. As a result, painting has always been a very important part of the artist’s life. At age 11, she was sent by her widowed Mother to Italy where her talent for sculpture was nurtured. In Paris, she studied painting with the famed Impressionist Marcel Dyf, who instructed Pascal in the style of the old masters. Pascal’s oil on wood paintings are brilliant with vibrant color and rich texture. Pascal returned to sculpture at the age of 41, when she was determined to carve glass. It took over ten years of experimentation before she discovered a glass with the durability to withstand long hours under hammer and chisel. Her use of glass astounded the art world by establishing a new art form, and reviews of early exhibits compared Pascal’s classic forms to Rodin and Michelangelo. Pascal has expanded her artistic horizons to include a limited edition Collection of lithographs, serigraphs, and art-to-wear jeweled miniature crystal sculptures which join her original works of art in beautifully adorning museums, and the homes of business moguls and celebrities throughout the world.
