Pascale Rentsch is a true artist. Her paintings sing with the voices of the sea, the sky, the earth. Painting en plein air, all her senses experience the place, she becomes it, and expresses so well its beauty and the changing light. I fell in love with her work the first time I saw it.
— Norman Bissell | poet & author of 'Barnhill: A Novel'

My goal is to become one with what I paint, feel, see and hear. It is important for me to set my feelings free, my arm merely an extension of what I am feeling, in awe what I see in front of me.
