Emma Kalif, artist and traveler, will be talking about how the artwork artists create cannot be separate from an artist and their life. Emma’s artistic work is a distillation of her everyday life after memory, emotion, and dreams have had their way with it.
About the Speaker
She lives and works in Ridgway, Colorado. Kalff was classically trained in oil painting under American realist painter Auseklis Ozols at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts. In 2018-19, Kalff traveled across the United States, working on farms and making a series of paintings inspired by the places she lived and worked. This body of work, called Finding America, was noticed in Telluride, CO, where she later had her first solo show at the Telluride Arts Headquarters Gallery in 2020. Her work was selected as part of Southwest Art magazine’s “21 Under 31: Young Artists to Collect Now”. She has also been listed as an “Artist to Watch” by Plein Air Magazine. Kalff’s paintings are in private and public collections and have been shown at the Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art.
