Paige art goes up at Curious Cup
The question, “What’s in a name?” serves as the thread that runs through Paloma Paige’s portraits, which will be on display at Curious Cup bookstore, 5285 Carpinteria Ave., throughout the month of January. The 17-year-old has grown her art skills through years of interest that recently landed her an internship at Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Her musing on names and the characters that are labeled by them spring from her name, Paloma—meaning dove in Spanish—and Paige—meaning young child, and how the name is an inadequate starting point for capturing a character. A free artist reception is scheduled for Friday, Jan. 3, from 4 to 6 p.m. at Curious Cup.
