NOCCA VisuAl Arts AlumNA EmiliE GOssiAux & hEr lifE pArtNEr AlAN luNdGArd
Born august 4, 1989 in New Orleans, emilie was diagnosed with moderate hearing loss at a young age due to an untreatable disorder. her hearing deteriorated rapidly throughout her teens. it was a deficit that emilie filled with a passion for visual art.
she pursued her art education in high school at New Orleans Center for Creative arts, and, after evacuating from hurricane katrina in 2005, the dreyfoos school of the arts in west Palm Beach, fl. emilie was accepted into the prestigious The Cooper union school of Art in Manhattan, NY in 2007 for her undergraduate studies. upon completion of her junior year in May 2010, she received cochlear implant surgery in her left ear to partially address her hearing impairment. during
her studies at The Cooper union, emilie met and fell in love with alan lundgard, a humble partner that fate brought into emilie’s life.
On the morning of October 8, 2010, emilie was struck by an 18-wheeler truck while riding her bike in Brooklyn. in addition to stroke, traumatic brain injury, and resuscitated cardiac arrest, she suffered multiple fractures in her head, pelvis, and left femur. she emerged from the er in severely critical condition with a pessimistic assessment of her brain function. a “grim” prognosis was made of her chance for survival. But emilie’s mother, susan, and alan were always there for her.
emilie is now living and working on her blind rehabilitation at Blind, inc. in Minneapolis. her artwork and her support systems, alan and susan, have been essential in her day-to-day growth.
NOCCa is proud to have emilie as part of our alumni family and emilie & alan as our 2012 Celebration speakers.
