Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.

Barbara Page is a New York–based artist. She received her MFA from Cornell University in 1975.

The Museum of the Earth, in Ithaca, NY, was designed around her series of 544 bas-relief paintings depicting the history of life. Rock of Ages, Sands of Time, published by The University of Chicago Press (2001), contains color plates of the entire project.

Her love affair with printed matter led to the Book Marks project, an ongoing pictorial survey of her reading history. Illustrated library charge cards and the library case in which they are housed have been displayed at the Center for Book Arts in NYC as well as galleries and libraries. These small artworks form the backbone of Book Marks: An Artist’s Card Catalog, her memoir published by Bauer and Dean in April 2021. It was awarded best of show in a juried international exhibition called The Art of the Book at the Rochester Central Library in 2022.
