Paul Pascarella was born in Emerson, New Jersey. An artist from childhood, in his teenage years he did custom paintwork on cars and advertising signs; before he was out of art school his work had been exhibited in the Museum of Contemporary Crafts, New York, and the Nikon Gallery, New York, and accepted into the contemporary collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. After graduating from Parsons School of Design, New York, he worked as a freelance graphic designer. In 1968 he went for the first time to Aspen, Colorado. There he began painting on leather, and in 1974 he had his first one-man show at the Jerome Gallery in Aspen.
