Where did your love for art come from?

Gretchen Atwater (Faculty): “My mom wanted to be an art student but in those days women couldn’t go to college when they got married. So, she was an art major for a while. She liked art, and as kids we would go to the library and an art museum every weekend. My love for art history stems from my first year of college. I took an introduction to art history class and I felt like I was in Heaven. I didn’t know that there was such a thing as a course that put together beautiful objects with history and language. I just fell for it, a hook, line, and sinker. It was a discipline made entirely for me.”
