Hello and Welcome,
Welcome to this digital space, and thank you for visiting! It means a lot, in this wild world web, that you would take a moment to see more of my work or find out more about me.
The principle at the heart of my creative practice is slowing down and noticing. There is a space I enter through meditation or the simple act of watching how the wind sways grass, or how the sun dusts across water that moves me from forward thinking to presence. This internal shift makes everything I see, touch, and interact with almost holy with its beingness. In this space the empty lake becomes a time capsule of seasons before, like the rings of an oak measuring a wet or dry year. In this way the reservoir is a message in a bottle from the future and the past.
This practice takes a hole worn in my favorite sweater and turns it into a doorway, or a portal to another dimension. It becomes a soft invitation to an unknown place just beyond, or the threshold in the hero’s journey, once crossed one can never go back, not really. This slowing down and awareness makes all things somehow magic and important. I enter that state of conciousness to discover what work is seeking to be made next, seeking out hands to bring it into being.

New Series available at Lawson-Fenning
Paige’s current series called Reservoir is now available at Lawson-Fenning in Los Angeles. This series looks at how we manage and preserve water in the West.
Her movements between LA and Colorado tracing the watershed from one to the other, watching the levels change over time entranced her and led to a deeper dive into what language we use, “When we talk about water we are talking about the feminine.”
LEGACY TOTEM LAMPS
This modern ceramic sculptural lamp is handmade to order by Paige Stewart. Legacy is an abstraction of this artists understanding of humanitys’ purpose.
While purpose is unique to each person, our histories are stacked upon one another, we share a similar beginning and perhaps a shared legacy we leave to those who come after, are we aware of what we are leaving?

Time and the willingness to take a risk makes all things possible. LEGACY is an ongoing and often intimate conversation about where we come from, our nuclear families, our spiritual indoctrination and personal path beyond that, our communities, our integral part in our environment how it’s shaping us and our shaping of it, all these constituent parts come together to create what we are here to do, and what we will therefore leave for those who come after. And this has been unfolding through generations of humanity, in our personal family trees or our ancestral healing, and in our universe and down to the macro of our neighborhoods. LEGACY seeks to communicate what an individual’s legacy in a single life will be and also our more collective legacy as human beings, and better yet what do we want it to be?
