Paige Quinn (b. 1998) is an artist and self taught oil painter who lives
and works in Vancouver, BC on the unceded territory of the Squamish, Musqueam
and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. Quinn predominantly works through creating
abstracted oil paintings which explore ideas of ecological spirituality,
femininity, connection, and grief. Her paintings express personal
thoughts and experiences about the natural world as well as touches on themes of ecological spirituality as expressed through the writing of Gary Snyder, Hsiung Hung and Han
Shan (the Cold Mountain Hermit). She looks to depict the Canadian
landscape as remembered through personal experience and relationship to the
land instead of being perceived as a chronology of conquest. By
anthropomorphizing elements of nature in her lush paintings, she aims to highlight
these relationships and questions our role within them.
