PAIGE POWELL

Paige Powell is a professional graphic designer and mixed media artist.  With a background in advertising, her digital work combines playful, bold color with a humorous nod to the absurd. 

The 318 Collages mix Shreveport landmarks with vintage and modern cultural elements for a surreal look at her hometown.

In The Couch Series, she experiments with stunning color saturations and whimsical personalities to create story book portraits, reminiscent of album covers that captivated her in youth.

Paige studied fine arts with a focus in studio painting at Stephens College.  She graduated from the Art Institute of Dallas in 1993 with a degree in Music and Video Business. Paige honed her professional talents in the Dallas music industry before returning to Shreveport. 
Locally, she worked as an artist for National Mail-It and Millennium Group Advertising.  Paige also served as Communications Director for the State Fair of Louisiana, designing the fair’s first web site, before joining Eldorado Resort Casino. She served as Eldorado’s artist for over eleven years and managed the casino’s brand aesthetic. 

In 2016, she left the casino to pursue freelance graphic design and focus on her own artistic endeavors.  A love of travel and cultural events, have provided her with a camera roll of photos ready to create faux dreamscapes and depictions of the world around her.
