Biography
“I was born with a pencil in hand,” Jocelyne Pache will tell you in all earnestness. Born in Lausanne, Switzerland, in an artistically active family, she began drawing at a very early age – to the utter despair of her teachers, as she remembers. “I used to draw everything that came to mind all over the margins of my school and exercise books! My history books quickly featured pencilled friezes of heroic or romantic scenes while all manner of butterflies and birds fluttered over my natural sciences books; needless to say my geography albums looked like travel guides to distant and exotic destinations!”

With that kind of a start in life, Jocelyne Pache inevitably ended up enrolling in a school of fine arts, from which she seamlessly graduated to illustrating children’s books and games. French publishers eventually noticed and liked her work and extended to her an invitation to work in Paris. Once set up in Paris, she was soon involved in the design of product lines for adults – porcelain, jewelry, household and table linen, haute couture textiles, fashion accessories and more. Although thrilled to be part of the Paris design scene, she much regretted that her own artistic production had had to take a back seat to the rest. All that is now a thing of the past.
“Today,” she says, “I’m happy to give my drawing hand free rein and let my pen and pencil take me wherever my dreams and my fancy suggest.”
