Featured Artist: Emma Goldgar

Local artist Emma Goldgar has been enthralled with art for most of her life. It began small with childhood dabbling, but the angst and awkwardness of adolescence caused Emma to spiral out of control into her obsession, which has her firmly in its grasp to this day.

Raw and self-taught, Emma has spent years refining her techniques and molding her own unique style. Using varied media, she blends realistic, surrealistic and conceptual styles to capture the human form and transpose it with a dreamy, natural environment. Her artwork is a means to turn reality on itself, to once again spark the wonder and wistfulness of childhood.

It’s Emma’s mission to bring art to as broad of an audience as possible; thus her recent career has shifted to produce both teaching and performance components as well. Bringing art into community endeavors, Emma live paints at various events, ranging from fundraisers to festivals, where it’s easier to interact with the public about her work!

Tonight, let us be

all seven wonders of the world

and gas cans with no matchbox symphonies.

Let us be the opposite of riot

and let us feel the way the rain gutter feels

after it has been swept clean by the current.

Let us feel like we did our jobs today.

Let us taste something less bitter

and smell something sweeter.

Let our eyes remain dry

and our knuckles stay home,

away from brick wall reunion

and ask the other fists that meet there

to stay away from our cheekbones.

Let us listen to something more powerful

than that of a thousand man choir,

or rather, let us become it.

Let our pillows call us to them

and let us arrive

before the sun comes up tomorrow.

Let our tongues be soft again—

Razor blades are not at home here,

behind our teeth.

Let us be alive without anything

asking us not to be.

Tonight–

let us be

at peace.

Let us be

equal,

as you said

we were all created

to be.
