Pascal, Suzanne (1914-2021 ). American sculptor in glass, born in Montana, daughter of a French painter, Charles Pascal. Owing to deafness she used drawing as a means of communication from an early age. She went to Italy at the age of 11 to study sculpture under Professor Julius Attillio and later studied painting in Paris for ten years, but subsequently reverted to sculpture.
She began glass sculpture in 1952, but it was not until 1964 that she discovered, in an abandoned glass factory at Dunbar, Pennsylvania, and she became sufficiently hardened by weathering to stand up to carving with hammer and chisel.
She had one-man shows in Zurich (1966), New York (1966, 1972), Los Angeles (1967), the American Cultural center, Tokyo (1968), Paris (1970) and at the O Hana Gallery, London (1974).
Her works are represented in among others, the Los Angeles County Museum of
Art, the Petit Palais Museum, Geneva and the permanent collections of the American Embassies in London and Tokyo.



Note:

"She was featured in "People" magazine a number of years ago, and her works are in some of the most prestigious collections in California. One of her works was given by the US as a wedding gift to Prince Charles and Diana. less
