Page was born in Kansas City in 1885 and became an itinerant artist of the American West in the early twentieth century. For a time he based his studio in Boulder and traveled about the West painting colorful intimate-scaled landscapes, capturing majestic views of the dramatic Rockies that were popular with tourists.
