Aileen Page lives in Anchorage, Alaska. She graduated from the University of Alaska Anchorage in 2020 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ceramics. Her work frequently focuses on figurative subject matter that touches on ideas of vulnerability, comfort and anxiety and explores how these feelings are communicated through body language.
Aileen has exhibited work locally such as in the International Gallery of Contemporary Art in Anchorage, Crush Bistro, Jens’ Restaurant, and at her University in the Hugh McPeck Gallery. She received Best In Show for the national No Big Heads juried exhibition in 2021. Aileen was awarded the 2018 Alaska Watercolor Society and Alaska Artist Guild Scholarship and in 2019 received the Undergraduate Research Grant from the Honors College at UAA. She spent the summer of 2019 as a ceramic assistant for Bruce Dehnert at Peters Valley School of Craft in New Jersey.
Currently Aileen is a ceramic instructor in Anchorage and is renovating a 1970 vintage Airstream that she plans to turn into a traveling gallery.
