A New Page : Why I Changed My Name
Elizabeth Butler Fine Art is now Elizabeth Page
Why I Changed My Name — and What It Means
Hello everyone — I’ve changed my last name.
It feels big. And beautiful. And deeply right.
After months (really, a full year) of sitting with this decision, turning it over gently, I felt it land in my body with clarity. The timing was right. The meaning felt complete. And so: I’m now creating, sharing, and showing up in the world as Elizabeth Page.
This isn’t just a name change. It’s a reflection of the woman I’ve become — and the artist I’m still becoming.
A Personal Shift, Rooted in Transformation
In many ways, this shift is deeply personal. I feel more myself than I ever have. But I’m also not the same person who started painting florals seven years ago. That version of me was strong and searching. I love her. I honor her. And I’ve outgrown her.
There was one more step I felt called to take — a way to mark the closing of one chapter and the opening of the next:
A new name, for a new voice.
Becoming a Mother Changed Everything
Motherhood cracked me open in ways I still don’t have full words for.
It deepened my connection to my intuition.
It sharpened my priorities.
It expanded my capacity for beauty, trust, and creative risk.
It also brought a new layer of clarity to my partnership with my husband, Carlos Page — a man who holds deep, quiet space for all the ways I grow. This name shift honors that. It marks the ground we’ve built together as a family. And it reflects the evolving shape of who I am now, inside and outside the studio.
Naming Interdependence
In a culture that often glorifies total independence, I feel called to name something else:
Interdependence.
I didn’t get here alone. My growth didn’t happen in isolation. It happened in the sacred container of relationship — with my family, my community, my creative lineage.
This structure may not be traditional. But it’s true. And that’s what makes it powerful.
What’s Ahead
Behind the scenes, new work is taking shape — you’ve seen glimpses in the metal leaf collection, but there’s more coming. A new project is forming. A new vision for how I want to make, share, and live my art is unfolding.
As that clarity came, so did the realization:
I want to say it all as Elizabeth Page.
So I am.
Thank you for being here.
