Paige Emery is an ecological artist, herbalist, and medicine woman exploring rituals of remembering the Earth. Her work interweaves healing arts and critical ecology, ancestral memory and embodied futurities, ecopoetics and socioenvironmental praxis. As a way of life, her practice is rooted in reciprocity with the Earth.

Paige’s practice stems from a background in art, herbalism, ancestral medicine, eco-philosophy, environmentalism, and learning from the Earth. Ways of being in relationship are at the foundation of her decolonial, eco-feminist work. Her offerings serve as a bridge between the internal and external landscapes of ecological consciousness through guided plant rituals, paintings and installations made from plants and earth materials, ecopoetic meditations, embodied ecology walks, more-than-human music performances, and sharing plant remedies with her community.
