Drawing was always been her love.  Page studied at the Vancouver School of Art for four years studying lithography, drawing, design, and painting, then graduated into sculpture.  Her drawing skills won her a two year scholarship at Laguna Beach School of Art. This was a professional workshop drawing three models at one time.
Her instructor Mr. Sueo Serisaiwa never said very much but saw something in her lines as she drew the models. In 2001 she had the honor of painting with Founder, President Emeritus and chairperson of the Pastel Society of America – Flora Giffuni. Through the years Ms. Giffuni has supported her wish to be a professional pastel artist.

Page says “My joy is to enhance my ideas and then with all my heart to give myself to it. Color, composition and passages of light are orchestrated to produce a cohesive whole.” Since her trip to France in March 2007 she realizes that she is one of those rare artists equally adept at painting a number of subjects, yet her works all share an instinctive attitude, vitality and presence.  “Working with European Artists has given me a good lift to the work I must prepare for myself.”
