ARTIST STATEMENT-BIO
My painting is a metaphor for my life emerging from my spiritual heartwork. Each day a fresh start to create through vibrant color and shape.
A few charcoal lines on house painted canvas starts my process whether I am painting from nature or from my inner thoughts. I build layers using acrylic paint, pastels, oil sticks and charcoal..then go back in again and push / pull until the painting is revealed. Intuition leads the way and my soul eventually connects with yours. Page never learned the rules in Art school so as a self taught painter enjoys the freedom of experimenting with no boundaries. Page received a Masters in Education and her natural talent as a teacher is reflected in her ongoing workshops and classes. She has lived on the South Shore of Boston for over forty years She was privileged to receive a Residency at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown MA in 2013 granted through the Copley Society of Art. She is a juried Gallery Artist at the Copley Society of Boston, The South Shore Art Center in Cohasset MA and Solace Gallery in Long Beach Island New Jersey.Her work can be seen at her Studio in Rockland and at NEST in Dedham MA CURRENT GALLERIES Copley Society of Art, Boston MA Solace,Long Beach Island,NJ Nest Dedham MA South Shore Art Center, Cohasset MA PAGE PEARSON RAILSBACK PageRailsback.com 508-846-2197 EDUCATION 1977 Lesley College, Cambridge MA, M.Spec.
