Hi, I'm Paige! I'm a home goods maker + graphic designer + creative supply curator based in Olympia, WA. My work is shown locally at Gallery Boom, and I am a member of the South Sound Modern Quilt Guild and Olympia Girlboss Collective. I pull from my formal education in the environmental field to create visually stunning textile work with an emphasis on repurposed, thrifted, salvaged, and hand-dyed fabrics.
My family emigrated to the northwest from Northern Europe, sometime. I'm drawn to the clean lines and minimalism of scandinavian home decor, and the earthy + vibrant color palettes of my grandparent's daily views as fisherpeople + loggers + handiworkers. My work constantly nods to these influences while bringing the "at-home" work of my female ancestors + living relatives into the forefront of the arts scene, bringing quilting out of the shadows of "women's work" and into the mainstream.
I primarily work with cotton fabric to create minimalist, visually stunning quilts. Each step of the process is completed by me, often starting with hand-dyeing the fabric, piecing blocks together, layering the "quilt sandwich" of the pieced quilt top, fluffy batting, and smooth backing fabric, and then top-stitching and binding to complete the quilt. Each quilt is one-of-a-kind and heavily draws on my love of the northwest, community, modern womanhood, and admiration of simple shapes + cozy textures.
