"My favorite painting is Birth of Venus by Botticelli. In my small rural Illinois high school, art history was one of my favorite subjects and I was also fascinated by Greek mythology. My French class organized a trip to Europe and our first stop was the Uffizi in Florence where I was completely enthralled when I saw this in person. It’s a painting that makes you feel like she is looking right at you and that you are a part of the story." Jennifer Tulley
