M. Paige Schrock - Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt (2009)

36x24 Mixed Media on Gallery Wrapped Canvas 

M. Paige Schrock is an Arkansas mixed-media artist and educator. She works in cut-paper collage, acrylic, words, watercolor, colored pencil and scratches. Her work is colorful, bold, and whimsical with an undercurrent of the primordial and sinister. The theme of powerfully-othered female archetypes runs through her work as well as an iconography of personal symbols. Paige is influenced by literature, mythology, esotericism, Jungian psychology, biophilia, and techno-terror.
