Through abstraction, the artist examines the space where lived experience and collective meaning intersect, allowing familiar forms to dissolve and reassemble into layered reflections on family, labor, temptation, and belonging.Based in Boise, ID, Grace Page is a contemporary painter whose work explores themes of memory, time, and perception through abstraction and fragmentation.Experience this new exhibition, meet the artist, and spend the evening immersed in thoughtful conversation and contemplation.
