Antreasian (1922 - 2018) was a native of Indianapolis, Indiana. His career began as an artist in World War II, where he was an artist-correspondent with the United States Coast Guard. Antreasian returned to Indianapolis in 1946, and graduated from the Herron School of Art in 1948. Beginning in the 1950s he was a faculty member at the Herron School of Art and he relocated to the University of New Mexico in 1970. He also was the technical director of the first modern lithography print shop, Tamarind Lithography Workshop, in Los Angeles, California. Before designing Here I Grew Up, Antreasian completed several projects around the city of Indianapolis and the state of Indiana that depicted Indiana history and landmarks. In 1956, he was commissioned by Indiana University to design a mural about the history of the school since its founding in 1820.
