Stephanie Paige has been captivated by Nature her entire life. Born into an extremely creative family of painters, writers, musicians, and craftsmen, Stephanie began experimenting with diverse art mediums at an early age. Inspired by the Michigan wilderness in which she grew up, her early compositions depicted landscapes and animals. As a young adult, she began painting acrylic and oil abstracts for private collectors. Stephanie relocated to California in 1990 and found success as a freelance illustrator.
In 1993 she established Paige Studio, where she began selling gallery paintings and limited editions to stores and galleries. Stephanie also designed and painted murals for commercial companies throughout the United States.
Inspired by the frescoes of the Renaissance, Stephanie developed a unique method of creating large-scale abstracts by meticulously sanding, burnishing, and polishing layers of marble plaster on wood panels. Stephanie’s love for the coast has inspired a mesmerizing, life-like series devoted to the ocean that is masterfully created with thick, textured acrylic on canvas. Her spectacular depictions of nature have earned her international renown as a contemporary artist.
Stephanie’s nature-inspired artwork has been published in over 50 magazines and newspapers including the New York Times, Dwell Magazine, American Art Collector and San Diego Home Garden Magazine. Her public works and commissions are displayed in numerous public spaces including, most recently, Sharp Coronado Hospital where 14 of her ocean-inspired pieces have been installed. In 2008 Stephanie introduced a new collection, which reflects her personal journey into connecting to the world through meditation and presence. Letting go of the idea of perfection, cultivating gratitude, and existing in the moment have led to masterpieces that invoke the peace and harmony of our relationship with Nature. Compelling meditation circles, exhilarating landscapes, serene sunsets, and expressive ocean scenes invoke emotion and invite the viewer to introspect.
Stephanie is represented by several top galleries in the United States. Her work is collected by fine art enthusiasts around the globe. She creates full-time in her home studio in San Diego, where she continues to hone her craft and find inspiration from the natural world.
