Artist Statement
Susan H. Paige took her first art class at age ten at the Art Institute of Chicago. Her mother, now 91, a graduate of the Art Institute in 1952, kept Susan involved in art, theatre, music and dance. Susan’s many years in these areas has fueled her creative approach to all facets of her life. She feels creativity originates in the heart which is also the source of our spirituality. In her art streams joy and free spirit the core spiritual aspects of being. A life coach and healer, Susan hopes her art touches the viewer in ways that help them feel more joy within themselves and life.
