Lisa Houseman was born in 1944 and grew up in the Brooklyn Borough of New York City. Lisa loved to go on shopping trips with her mother, especially to Manhattan.
In October 1959, when Lisa was 15 years old, the Guggenheim Museum opened on Fifth Avenue, the best shopping street in Manhattan. For sure, Lisa and her mother visited the museum soon after it opened.
Lisa was delighted by the museum, the architecture and art of which are classified as Postwar Modernism. The museum was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the USA's most famous modernist architect.
Lisa's visit to the Guggenheim Museum when she was 15 years old gave her a young appreciation for "decorating the world". As she continued through high school and thought about her future college studies, she decided that she wanted to study art. She wanted to understand design, art and architecture intellectually.
Lisa's mother wanted Lisa to attend a women's college. As Lisa thought about which women's college she preferred to attend, she paid special attention to the art programs offered by the various women's colleges.
Lisa thought that majoring in art was quite feminine, which pleased her. Lisa foresaw that after she raised her children, she might begin a professional career in the arts.
