(b. 1996) Paige Martin was born and raised in a small town in North Eastern Pennsylvania. As a child Paige craved arts and crafts. Middle school and high school were filled with art extracurriculars and private art classes. Paige took a small break after high school to evaluate possible future vocations. However, during this break, she realized the need to make art was stronger than all other prospects. She enrolled in Luzerne County Community College for a degree in Painting and Illustration. After community college Paige applied to Ani Art Academy Waichulis. During her time at Ani she has been focused on honing her skills to achieve new levels that she originally did not think was possible.
