Paige Valentine (b.1996, Los Angeles) is an East Bay-based multidisciplinary artist who merges painting and ceramics with themes of humor, tenderness, grief and interspecies connection. Her ceramics often defy traditional functionality, creating scenes through combined and assembled elements. She graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2018 with a BFA in Painting. She has had two solo exhibitions at Pt.2 Gallery (Oakland, CA) and has exhibited in group shows across the Bay Area, Los Angeles, New York, Europe, and more. Currently teaches hand-building and gas/soda firing at The Potters Studio in Berkeley.
