Paige Payne is a painter whose life and art have been shaped by a journey across Canada, Scotland, and the United States—and by a deep personal faith that began in her earliest, most difficult moments. She has loved creating since she was old enough to hold a paintbrush, eventually earning her Fine Arts degree with an emphasis in painting. Her work is profoundly influenced by her experiences with anxiety, depression, and OCD, and she is passionate about creating pieces that help others feel seen, understood, and never alone. Paige’s art became her safe place long before it became her profession, and today she considers it a blessing to share that refuge with the world. Since graduating in 2019, she has built a thriving creative studio rooted in worship, vulnerability, and connection—grateful each day for the people who invite her artwork into their homes and support the dream she and her husband, Michael, have built together.

Story Behind the Art
Story Behind the Art
This painting is dedicated to my sweet husband, who has helped me to pick up the pieces of my broken heart and put them back together, over and over again. As we are going on seven years of marriage, I have been reflecting on the different broken pieces we each brought into our marriage. I am so grateful to have a partner that did not judge or get scared of any of my broken pieces. Instead, he also showed me his broken heart and together we fit those pieces together. What resulted was something more beautiful than either of us were on our own.
Kintsugi has become a very important symbol in my life. Kintsugi (???, "golden joinery") is a Japanese pottery technique where broken pottery is put back together with a gold lacquer. The golden cracks in the repaired pot are considered an important part of the pottery’s history - something that has made the pot even more beautiful and valuable than it was before. This pottery technique has helped me to reframe any hard, sad, or difficult thing that happens in my life. It reminds me that pain, heartache, and breakage are inevitable, but our hearts and our lives can be even more beautiful and precious in the aftermath. The brokenness is not something to be hidden or embarrassed of - it is a beautiful history that shows the character and strength of the pot.
There are many things that inspire my artwork, and my husband’s steadfast love is one of those things. He has taught me of the beauty, joy, peace, and love that can be felt when two broken hearts become one.
