Biography

Paige Lauren is from New York and has been drawing since the age of 18. Finding a therapeutic love for drawing, her main medium quickly became markers and she hasn't looked back since. Taking time to hone her skills, she began selling illustrations to be sold on wallets for the brand Dynomighty in 2015 as a part of their Artist Collective program. Paige began doing commissions the same year, selling mostly nursery art. In 2017, Paige began selling her illustrations on Threadless, opening the options for items to print her designs on such as T-shirts, coffee mugs, stickers and phone cases. The print on demand setting became a place for Paige to challenge herself artistically. Taking inspiration from everything around her, she created the name "Make Up The Paige" for her art business to symbolize that you can take anything and turn it into something. Today, Paige boasts over forty designs on three print on demand websites, a website of her own and a published coloring book that is sold on Amazon. This is Paige's second exhibition with Cloudfolios and she hopes there are more to come. Be sure to follow Paige on Instagram and Facebook at makeupthepaige.
