About: Harriet Warkel

Job Title: Curator, American Painting and Sculpture

Interests: Exercise and dancing

Favorite Movies: I’m not a fan of movies.

Favorite Music: I love anything fast with a fast dance beat, but I also like “My Heart Will Go On” from the movie Titanic.

Favorite Food: The Saigon is my favorite restaurant, Goodfellows is second. So it’s not a particular food but a particular style of cooking.

Pets: None. When I was young I had fish, parakeets, canaries and a dog, which we returned to store because he had untreatable fleas. After I married, we had fish. I should have learned that fish did not survive under my care. We also had a toad that lived a long and happy life.

Something you should know about me: I never liked art when I was growing up. I would cringe when my art teacher looked at my drawings and whine when my class went to an art museum. Not until I married did my husband’s interest in art intrigue me enough to earn a degree in art history.
