As we celebrate Indigenous People’s Day, we wanted to continue with our artist highlight of Paige Pettibon, a multidisciplinary visual artist based in Tacoma, Washington, working across painting, mixed media, jewelry, and public art.
Rooted in her Black and Bitterroot Salish heritage and shaped by her upbringing on Coast Salish territories, Pettibon’s work challenges dominant narratives while building spaces for connection, accountability, and cultural continuity. Her practice centers on questioning systems of value, power, and belonging using visual language as a way to provoke dialogue and imagine more just futures.
Take a moment and look through at the many ways Paige is uplifting indigenous stories with her art. Her talent is wide reaching and this is only a small peek. Make sure to follow her creative journey at Paige Pettibon and Plain_to_Sea.
Paige is also a board member of Indigenous Creatives Collective , a great page to follow to connect with other local indigenous creatives, like the super talented Indigenous Collective board members, Amanda (Beadwork by Amanda Chavira ) and Epiphany (epiphany couch ). They are both so talented!
Paige, thank you for inspiring those of us who have encountered your work. We look forward to seeing what you create next!
Our communities are so rich with indigneous creators and visionairies, feel free to show love to some of your favorites in the comments or create a post of your own.
