The first nine years of Pascale's life were spent in New Jersey where a normal view was the Manhattan skyline. A trip to the movies with her grandparents meant Radio City Music Hall and a floor show by the famed Rockettes. Then her family moved to south-central Arkansas - at the time known as the "Land of Opportunity". While the move meant opportunity to her parents, it would be several years before Jeanne came to appreciate Arkansas on her own terms. Later periods living in Dallas, the Boston area and Montreal, Canada, had a profound effect on her creativity. Years later, she came full circle with a move to central Missouri. She now finds equal inspiration in viewing a ballet performance or a rural Missouri landscape.
A lifetime fascination with fabric, textures, color and needle arts ultimately resulted in a BFA degree in fashion design and influences her still life paintings today. She also enjoys street scape painting - first inspired by scenes in a favorite North American city - Quebec City, Canada.
Jeanne lives in Boonville with husband Patrick Hanna and their cat Figgy.
