She lived most of her life in Westmount and Ste. Adele, Quebec. She studied art in Montreal under Edwin Holgate, Lilias Torrence Newton, T.R. MacDonald, Harold Beament, Adam Sheriff Scott, and Jean-Paul Lemieux. She exhibited regularly from 1940 to 1956 (Henry Morgan & Company Ltd. [1943], The Art Association of Montreal [1941], Montreal Museum of Fine Arts [1940-44 & 1953], Independent Art Association [1956], Hamilton Art Gallery [1957], Art Gallery of Toronto [1950] etc.). Throughout her career Pagnuelo received excellent critical acclaim and many of her exhibitions were reviewed in the local press. She was a painter of urban scenes, marines, still-lifes, portraits (including black subjects), and landscapes of Montreal, the Laurentians, Gaspé, and New England. A fine painter in the post-impressionist tradition, her career was tragically cut short when she died of cancer at the age of 39.
