New Zealander’s photo art to be at Lindsborg gallery

The story of how Emerald McGlashan’s artwork ended up in an art gallery in Lindsborg is also the story of how she found a small college — Bethany — in a small town in the middle of Kansas about 8,000 miles from her home.

“It is a long plane ride,” McGlashan said. “I got here on a soccer scholarship. … I transferred here halfway through my freshman year. I went to a community college in Minnesota first.”

While there she found Bethany, and decided to transfer. The midfielder, who gets to run nonstop, is a junior for the Swedes. She hopes to be a photojournalist when she graduates college.
