Life

Pauline Peugniez came from a middle-class family; her father was a surgeon and her maternal grandfather was a notary. After graduating from high school, she studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Amiens and at the Beaux-Arts de Paris. There she met her future husband, Jean Hébert-Stevens, a cousin of the architect Robert Mallet-Stevens, whom she married in 1915.[1][2]

While she continued her studies, her husband became a renowned stained glass artist. Her acquaintance with Marie-Alain Couturier, a Dominican Order, and her work at the Studios of Sacred Art founded in 1919 by Maurice Denis and George Desvallières, led Pauline and her husband to devote themselves mainly to the design of stained glass.[3]
