Meet Susan Pascale

Hi, I’m Susan, soul nurturer, creative being and celebrator of life’s simple pleasures, born and raised in Brooklyn, NY.  I have called Hoboken my home for over 20 years now!  WOW… time flies!  I’ve seen Hoboken grow and evolve…it’s always been the 6th borough to me, so it was an easy fit.  I’ve been teaching and dancing throughout the Hoboken/Hudson County area since 2013 and through my Celebrate Life Studio since 2015.

My studio will always hold a special place in my heart.  Starting out in corporate America right out of school and transitioning to being an entrepreneur was a big life change for me. I’ve learned a lot about myself and what it means to be a woman-owned business.  I have always known the importance of supporting local and it’s value in a community. I am grateful for the life lessons CLS has taught me and for this supportive loving community.

This past year I had to make even more adjustments and once again pivot.  I lost my puppy, my dad and then had to close Celebrate Life Studio.  During Covid, I kept myself busy by painting… and I mean everything!  I discovered the world of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® and haven’t stopped yet!  Growing up I’ve always been surrounded by the arts as the majority of my family, either sings, plays an instrument, dances, draws or paints!   It brings back one of my loves of my childhood years… coloring and drawing!   Yet another means of expression having come from a dance background.   

Celebrating this expression of my creativity now through the love of painting, I am embarking on this new journey.  The Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® line has colored my world HAPPY!  Always finding ways to celebrate this crazy but joyous life now through up-cycled furniture. 

Our lives are forever changed, as we know it.  We are spending more time at home, either schooling the kiddos or working from home.  Why not make your home a place that suits your new lifestyle and adds a sense of calm, joy and happiness through color!

I’m excited to bring you Celebrate Life at Home! 



Give an old piece of furniture a new life!  Celebrate Life at Home by adding some color to your world.
