Born in Portland, OR

Lives/Works in Point Richmond, CA

Paige Tashner, native Oregonian, East Bay California transplant and longtime Burning Man participant, has been sharing her sense of creativity and quirkiness for several years.

It started with an electric, single-occupancy, drivable cupcake car, followed by large-scale installations, Stardust, the Purr Pods and Trust, all recipients of the Black Rock City Honoraria Grant.

Her ongoing venture, the Demure Le Purr cat sculptures, are 1/3 scale of the Purr Pods. Her first one, Spring Kitten, sold at the Sotheby's auction, Boundless Space...The Possibilities of Burning Man in the fall of 2021. UV-reactive versions of the cats have exhibited in Portland, OR, Walnut Creek, CA, and in Nevada.
