She performed everywhere from Berlin to Beijing before eventually making Hawaii her home, living aboard a boat
and drawing inspiration from the island’s dramatic skies and waters. Today, her work has been exhibited from Oahu to the Gulf Coast, always circling back to themes of motion, color, and community.
And Azzario-Goldberg’s personal story is as colorful as her canvases. During her circus career, she welcomed a son, Pierre Jean-Paul Poissonnet—now an acrobat traveling the world— and met her husband, Alan Goldberg, better known as Alan Gold, a master lion and tiger trainer.
Even though the couple has retired from the roar of the crowd to a quiet life in Florida, they haven’t stopped traveling. Instead of acrobatics and big cats, they now bring her art to festivals across the country, accompanied by their half-French bulldog, half-Old English bulldog pup, Sydney. The trio will be at the Peter Anderson Arts and Crafts Festival, sharing their latest collections.
Art by WAG is more than a brand—it’s the continuation of a life lived in performance, creation, and community connection. Just as her years in the circus celebrated the strength and spirit of human expression, her paintings now capture that same essence in pigment and form. Each piece is a reminder
that even when the curtain falls, the artistry continues—maybe not under the tent, but on the canvas.
