2025

Paige Stewart (b. 1985, Des Moines, IA) is a contemporary sculptor whose work spans modern abstract sculptures, including pieces with openings or portals, figural studies, totemic forms, and ceramic murals. Early exposure to the sculptural works of Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, and Andy Goldsworthy at The Des Moines Art Center deeply influenced her artistic journey. Stewart holds a BA in Biopsychology and Clinical Psychology from Western State College in Gunnison, CO, and an MA in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica. Her psychology background profoundly informs her artistic practice, as she explores the dualities of the human experience in her sculptures. Her work reflects a deep fascination with the contrasts that shape our existence—specifically the balance between the feminine and masculine, and the concept of LEGACY. Paige’s sculptures probe the legacies we inherit and the marks we leave on the world, both individually and collectively. The central question in her work: What kind of legacy are we creating in each moment, as individuals and as part of a greater whole? Her art seeks to explore these dualities, encouraging a reflection on the legacy of humanity, community, and personal experience. As she states, “May what moves one, moves us all as one.”
