Emily Wilson is a soft pastel artist who focuses on realism while occasionally crossing the line into surrealism. Intrigued by the emotional expressions of those around her, Wilson explores varied states of mind through the work in her show, Stare Awhile. Through color, proportion, balance, and movement, Wilson invites the viewer to navigate moments portrayed on paper while pausing and finding those moments in their own perception.
