Maud Gatewood's artwork is familiar to museum-goers throughout the South. She has been a prominent figure throughout the southeastern United States during her 55-year career. An astute student, her interest in art began as a youngster in her hometown of Yanceyville, NC, studying then in 1945 at Averett College in nearby Danville, VA. At the age of 16, after having skipped two grades of school, she entered what is now the University of North Carolina at Greensboro where she received her B.A. in fine arts in 1954. One year later, she received her M.A. in painting from Ohio State University. She continued her education as an instructor beginning in 1956 at Huntingdon College in Montgomery, AL, and then at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, TX. She then received a Fullbright Grant to study art history and painting at the Akademie Fur Angewandte Kunst and an extended Fullbright to study with Oskar Kokoschka in Salzburg, Austria. Her educational years were interspersed with traveling the world, that was the beginning of a life-long penchant, even at her death she was planning her next trip. In 1964, she returned to the U.S. where she joined the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and served as founding head of the university art department. She then went on to teach at Central Piedmont Community College before returning to her home, Caswell County, where she was a professor for many years at Averett University. During her academic career, she also served as a visiting professor and artist at the University of Cincinnati, Davidson College, and the State University of New York, Oswego. Ms. Gatewood was honored by her alma mater, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, with an honorary Doctorate in Fine Arts in 1999.
