Paige Ledom is an artist based in Kansas City. Trained as a painter, she traded in her paint brush for scissors to create intricately arranged collages using everyday materials, like paint swatches, cardboard, aluminum foil, cut up photographs, product packaging and whatever else she finds interesting to envision new possibilities for these materials we interact with on a daily basis. Many initially mistake her work for a painting when walking by, but upon closer inspection are in for a surprise when they begin to recognize some of the materials used to create the art.

She believes that making art is a continuously shifting practice and an emotional place marker for the artist’s life at the time the work was made. Pieces of her personal history find their way into the work and become the anatomy of the image.

Paige is currently represented by Liz Lidgett Gallery in Des Moines, Iowa.
