Collection of Jesse Morris, North Carolina

Born in Caswell County, Maud Gatewood is one of North Carolina's most recognizable artists. After earning her fine arts degree from Woman's College (now UNC-Greensboro), and her master's from Ohio State, she traveled to Austria on a Fulbright grant to study under Oskar Kokoschka. Upon her return, she shaped up the UNC-Charlotte art program until 1973 when she moved back to Caswell County. She continued to paint, and while North Carolina was her home, she traveled - always with an eye for transferring her visions and experiences to canvas.
