echoes: Revisiting Memory
Environments, places, and landscapes shape our memories and experiences. Echoes explores how memories lose their clarity and change as we revisit them. The works on view reflect these varied reminiscences of environments that stay with us and reverberate in our minds over time.

Paige Young
Photographer
Assistant Photography Professor of KCAD of Ferris State University
Paige Young is a Midwest-based photographer whose work is deeply rooted in the intersection of psychology and art. Her journey began with an interest in how photography fosters intimacy between subject and artist—and how visual storytelling can cultivate self-love, compassion, and healing.
With over 18 years of experience running her own photography business, Paige’s work spans both commercial and fine art, often exploring themes of self-compassion, mental health, grief, body image, and representation. She is especially passionate about inclusivity in the wedding industry, challenging traditional norms and advocating for the visibility of all forms of love and identity.
Beyond the lens, Paige is a full-time assistant professor at Kendall College of Art and Design at Ferris State University. Teaching fuels her passion for growth and connection, and she sees education as another way to create a welcoming, affirming space for others.
In every aspect of her work—whether behind the camera or in the classroom—Paige is committed to holding space for others, telling honest stories, and preserving the beauty of fleeting moments.
