Paige received her start at William Holland with silver, advanced chain, and chase and reposse classes. She has studied at the Spruill Center with Victoria Lansford and at Callandwolde with Cat Goolsby. She also teaches at the Britt David Cultural Arts Center. She recently received honorable mention, for one of her mixed media bracelets, at the Arts and the River show and sale.

Paige’s filigree, like herself, tends to be small and delicate with beautiful accents of tube and bezel set stones.
