I have come to believe if you look for beauty, you can find it anywhere. This practice has helped me reframe experiences that seem shattering into ways for the once-whole-beauty to become a fractured one; each fractile taking on its own bit of unique beauty. Somehow, the persistent beauty I find around me reiterates to a sometimes weary heart, that hope somehow rises, even when all feels lost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paige’s work grows out of her interest in ancestry and the patterns that form through inheritance and quotidian life. Her work explores this idea and accompanying notions about daily ritual, routine and the creation of meaning through repeated acts or events. She often uses traditional quilt patterns as a vehicle or visual language to express these ideas as well as to honor traditional women's work that often involve repeated motions with one's hands. She has come to see strength and power cloaked in the mundane and potential and beauty wrapped around our efforts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaige was born and raised in Provo, UT. She graduated with a BFA from Brigham Young University in 2011 and has participated in many juried and group exhibitions every year since. Her work is represented and sold by Meyer Gallery in Park City. In 2022 Paige received the Governor’s Mansion Artist Award. She lives and works in Salt Lake City and often enjoys time in the studio with her four daughters and new baby boy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paige Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48667286667499,"sku":null,"price":3000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/3790\/4291\/files\/PaigeC.Anderson_StillHopeSomehowRises.png?v=1780357580","url":"https:\/\/jkr-gallery.myshopify.com\/products\/paige-anderson-still-hope-somehow-rises","provider":"JKR Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
