NEXT ART EXHIBIT Southern California artist Stephanie Paige captures Mother Earth gift's that are waiting for us to awaken into the present moments in our lives to receive and become grateful. After finding a centeredness and stillness she had never experienced before from practicing Buddhist Meditation, her love on nature and every living being surrounding her became most important. Even that smallest things in nature can become a “Wow”.

“I describe my work as meditative and peaceful and I feel my work has a greater purpose then just for my self, it is meant to give to this world,” she continues.

My experience creating the art is treasured and meditative. I put all the love and compassion into each piece knowing that this is meant for someone and they will find their way with a knowing this was meant for them.”

Stephanie's work is made so uniquely with a 6” metal trowel on wood panels with layers of textured hand-made Marbled Dust Plaster's that is sanded, burnished and polished that gives a unique feel to each piece. Her abstract paintings with the textual details and smooth transitions between hues illustrate her exceptional skill and elevate her work.

Stephanie's work is collected world wide and she is represented by some of the top contemporary galleries throughout the west. Her upcoming solo shows will be displaying all of her new works.

Calvin Charles Gallery in Scottsdale AZ will be hosting her New Works Solo show titled “Awakened Soul” on February 4th 2016. The show will feature works of art that represent her journey of fulfillment or serenity and peace. There will be oversized works up to 8 ft long long.

I describe my work as Meditative and Peaceful that is inspired by Mother Earth...

There was a time in my life that I could not let go and I kept everything so close for fear I would loss it. With my art, I ended up storing over 170 fine art paintings for years. I discovered that attachment equaled suffering and realizing my attachment to my art was causing me to suffer.

Ready to let go of all my attachment, I asked everyone I knew if they wanted my art, I shipped out every last piece and the feeling I received from this was amazing. I realized I was given this gift, not just for me, but to give it out into the world. Once I did this my art that you see in my collection today was inspired by that moment. I look at my paintings and I am reminded to let go, breathe and just be here now with all the gratitude in the world. When I create, I know I am creating for someone that will find their way to this piece and know it was meant for them.

For me, life is about freedom and passion. The freedom to be passionate about life, living, nature, loved ones and creating...and passion to be free to be myself, to express what I see and dream.

My creations start with play time, I am a child playing with material and I let go of all the outcomes. Enchanted with the present moment, I let the interactions between the material and my hands just dance together. In my work, I see rich textured soil, clear blue water, spacious open sky and a soft breeze. In my pieces of art you can see the contemporary feel mixed with a rustic earthy feel, two complete opposites that dance well together. I focus on rich colors, I am pulled toward certain colors and each one give me some emotional feeling that I’m looking for.

I feel each work of art is meant for someone, letting each one find it's way to the person it's meant for. I am attached only in the memories of making them and love that someone will have receive what I have already felt.

If there is one gift I can give through my art, my wish is to be a peaceful reminder to stay in this moment and have a connection to gratefulness for all that is around us and within us.

If there is one thing thatI practice Metta and put it into each piece, Metta (Pali) is a benevolence toward all beings, without discrimination, that is free of selfish attachment. It is a strong, sincere wish for the happiness of all beings.

"When love moves through us it inspires all we do." Stephanie Paige Studio Southern California Ph. 858-361-1828 Web. www.stephaniepaigestudio.com
