AWAKENED SOUL
Stephanie Paige Solo Show By DOUG MORGANO
“If I could give a gift to the world, it would be in the form of Gratitude.” said Stephanie Paige, talking about her solo show “Awakened Soul”. Her hope is to inspire beautiful souls that are stuck and attached to suffering. Her story about her own awakened soul inspired Stephanie to share her experience with the world in hopes of making a positive difference to all that connect to her art. Her Journey as an artist took lots of twist and turns before she found her true self. Like in life, Stephanie had a hard time letting go and strived to be perfect, witch in turn made her suffer greatly. As a young artist she felt like she had to prove herself. The opinion of others took from her

creativity. Her turning point came when she started practicing mindfulness meditation, she studied Buddhism. Her soul began to awaken to a whole new way of living. She began searching for her purpose in life and stopped attaching to unhealthy thought, relationships and superficial possessions. Clearing away of the need to be perfect in every way she became present within herself with a tremendous amount of love and acceptance. It felt like she was in hibernation and finally could see clearly. She knew she was given this gift of being an artist and now knew she had to give it away. Her purpose was to relay the message of being present with gratitude in her art she created. Her abstract collection was born without anyones
approval, she found her center. Stephanie felt free for the first time, to create like she did when she was a child. Free of outside criticism and she had 100% fun! The secret is how the simplicity of Mother Earth has given me a shift of needing all things to seeing all things. Living a life with overwhelming gratitude of the gifts that are given to me every day. “In my work you will find the celebration of Mother Earth and how see give an opportunity in every moment to be present.” I have captured moments in time that are filled with stillness, magic and peace. I am guided by her, letting life unfold in front of me.
