Community
Community is where Paige’s artistry, activism, and service meet. As Chapter Lead for Project Color Corps, she collaborates with designers, students, and neighbors to transform schools and public spaces through color, pattern, and co-created murals that uplift the spirit of place. Through designedCOLLECTIVE, she has also developed a platform for installations, exhibitions, and gatherings that foster artistic exchange and creative activism, turning shared spaces into living laboratories for dialogue and renewal. Across these initiatives, Paige’s community work remains rooted in the same intention that guides all of her offerings: to create spaces—physical, emotional, and energetic—where people can remember their belonging and expand what they believe is possible together.
Project Color Corps
As Chapter Chair for Project Color Corps, I’ve seen how color can transform not just walls, but the way a community feels about itself.
In 2014, at my first Paint Day with Laura at E.C. Reems Academy—standing alongside students, teachers, families, and my own team as we brought their “Magical Energy” mural to life—I understood that our work is not about arriving with answers, but about listening and co-creating. We begin by asking how people want to feel in their spaces—safe, proud, inspired, calm—and what they want to be reminded of each time they walk through the doors.
Their words and desires become our palette; their stories shape the patterns and forms. Together, we translate these emotional truths into color and pattern, turning schools and gathering places into living reflections of a community’s ingenuity, intelligence, and power.
