Considering Art Podcast – Paige Perkins, painter
American artist Paige Perkins, now based in England, draws on mythology, fairy tales and symbols to create paintings in which hybrid creatures and ambivalent faces abound. In this episode, she talks about how she chose painting over ballet, how art school in London loosened her style, how regular Jungian analysis has influenced her work, how she aims to visualise her subconscious through her process, how the state of the natural environment concerns her, and about those artists who influence her.
