The following are a few updates from our Art & Art History alumni. To check out additional updates, please visit Where are they now?

Dana Hatfield '06 - Studio Art and Education
where: Anderson, IN
news: Dana is teaching art in a middle school in Anderson, IN. Dana wrote, " I'm extremely excited to finally begin teaching on my own, though I'm sure I will hear each and every one of your voices in the back of my mind more than I probably ever wanted. Thanks again to each of you for molding me and giving me your own knowledge and time. If you ever have the need to visit an eighth grade classroom, let me know, I love guests."

Sarah Oblon '03 - Studio Art major
news: After graduating from Hanover in 03, I served in the Peace Corps for 2 years in Malawi (Africa). I had a wonderful time, and learned a lot about everything including myself! I was fortunate enough to paint/decorate an entire church, do advertising work, and paint a black Madonna and child, which turned a few heads! When I returned, I went to Europe to look at brilliant art works from the past!

Merisa Titlow '02 - Art History major
where: New York, NY
news: She is doing an internship at the Whitney Museum of American Art to complete an M.S. in Arts Administration from Boston University. This last November, Merisa ran the NYC marathon for her 3rd time.
"I loved all of my Art History courses (all taught by the fabulous Dr. Martin)...especially when we took a trip to Cleveland for the Medieval Art course."

Sarah Aubrey '02 - Art History
Where: Fort Wayne, Indiana
Favorite Courses:all of them, but especially the ‘art’ segment of Eurasia, which is where I discovered my major
News Since Hanover: MA in Curatorship and Modern Art from the University of Sydney. Now I am the ‘curator of adult programs’ at the FWMoA—(meaning that I plan all the lectures, discussion panels, demos, trips, etc etc)
