Biography

Pascale was born and brought up in Ostend, Belgium before moving to Scotland in 1986 – working as an au pair to two young children before marrying and raising a family of her own.

Pascale’s creative journey started back in 2008, attending classes at Glasgow University and Glasgow School of Art. Her interest in psychology and qualification in counselling along with her creative background found her, in recent years, working with various groups of people including children at the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice in Glasgow. In 2019 Pascale participated in an online course Art2Life with Nicholas Wilton based in California.

Working with acrylics and mixed media, Pascale’s work is driven by her imagination and is largely self-taught through experimenting in her Glasgow studio. Her work is predominantly non-objective, all about visual stimulation influenced by the environment always evolving as nothing stays the same. Pascale searches with passionate intensity for texture, shape and colour to arrive at a place of fulfilment.

She became an artist member of the Paisley Art Institute in October 2019. Her work is sold in galleries in Scotland as well as through her own private shows and hangs in collections in Belgium.

Currently Pascale facilitates a small art group at the Partickhill Bowling and Community Club, Glasgow.
