Emily Page is a professional artist who also blogs for fun.
Being raised by two dirty hippies in a VW camper, Emily Page fell in love with art early as a way to entertain herself on long camping trips with no TV. As a result, she studied art in college at Wake Forest University, and has been a professional artist for about 15 years. She has used art to understand, interpret, and express her feelings about various challenges that she's faced over the years.She's also used it to make people laugh. She is a lover of the absurd and whimsical, of honesty and openness, of facing the darkness head on, of mac and cheese.
While she never fancied herself a writer, Page does come from a family of writers - in particular, her grandfather, Irvine H. Page, and her grandmother, Beatrice Allen Page, were both published authors. Page started blogging at the insistence of a friend who thought it would be a good avenue for promoting her artwork. Little did she know that her artwork and writing about dementia would strike a cord within so many people.
So now Page has decided to buckle down and assemble and add to her writings and collection of paintings about dementia. Says Page, "This is a terrifying endeavor, because, as mentioned before, and I don't consider myself a writer. But the encouragement of friends and family (and a fair few strangers!) has helped me to decide to take the leap and hope I grow my wings on the way down - or at least not get whacked in the face by too many branches before I hit the ground."

We just hit 400 pre-orders. I could cry, but, like, good cry. The you're-making-my-dreams-come-true kind of cry. We still have 16 more days to get the last 100. Orders have slowed down, so it'll be a stretch to get there, but if you help spread the word, we can do it. It's amazing how just $7 can impact my life enormously. Please, please, pleeeeeeeaaaaaase share the campaign with everyone you know and do a little begging on my behalf. I am forever in your debt. I owe you rainbows and unicorn snuggles.
