Paige Quinn (b. 1998) is an artist and self taught oil painter who lives
and works in Vancouver, BC on the unceded territory of the Squamish, Musqueam
and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. Quinn predominantly works through creating
abstracted oil paintings which explore ideas of ecological spirituality,
femininity, connection, and grief. Her paintings express personal
thoughts and experiences about the natural world and connection. Paige is inspired by the the reverential naturalistic writing of Gary Snyder, Hsiung Hung and Han
Shan (the Cold Mountain Hermit). Using this reverence and specificity towards her own experiece, she works in layers to obscure the canvas, allowing for moments where the viewer can peek through the branches into another world.
By anthropomorphizing elements of nature in her lush paintings, she aims to highlight our relationships to the natural world and question our role within them.
