Pascale Rentsch RSW

Pascale Rentsch RSW is an award winning Swiss-born artist living in East Lothian, Scotland, where she makes the most of her surrounding countryside, hills and coastlines. She draws and paints plein-air, directly from nature in all conditions. Pascale works instinctively, following her feelings, spontaneously capturing nature and the elements. Her language is paint and she enjoys working outside with her materials, exploring mark-making, connecting with her surroundings, reacting to what she sees, feels and hears.

She received the RSW Scottish Arts Club Award 2021 at the 141st annual Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolours exhibition held at the Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh. Other awards include the Visual Artist and Craft Maker Award 2021 to part fund her film project This is My Voice, the Isaac Howitt Art Teacher Award from the University of Edinburgh, and a Society of Wildlife Artists bursary for travel and education. She has also been invited to take part in several conservation projects, residencies and workshops.
