Morgan Paige is a poet, visual artist and entrepreneur living in the woods in so-called Washington State. Her recently self-published book of memoir poetry, Blue Morpho, details her journey to Costa Rica in 2018 to work with Ayahuasca to gain self knowledge while understanding how to transmute past trauma into acceptance and love.
In 2020, Paige joined Christopher Luna as co-host for Ghost Town Poetry Open Mic, happening every second Thursday at Art at the Cave in downtown Vancouver, WA. Ghost Town Poetry celebrated 20 years in November 2024.
Paige launched a retreat center in summer 2024 on the river in Kalama, WA centered around nature and creative community, hosting wellness retreats and family gatherings in spring/summer and an artist residency in the fall/winter months.

UPDATED Statement on Healthy Spaces from Art at the Cave: We want to provide a healthy space to enjoy art. We have been practicing safety precautions such as regular cleaning, social distancing and mask wearing. As a result of the removal of the mask mandate effective March 12, 2022, we will no longer require the wearing of masks. We encourage you to continue to wear a mask if it makes you feel more comfortable, and we will supply masks and hand sanitizer at the door. As social distancing has become a norm, please be mindful some will still need a bit of personal space while inside the gallery.
