Expand into other fields. Maybe visual art isn't what you connect to- maybe
you find your connection with music or poetry. Maybe you find you are a sucker
for good animation (old Disney films have watercolor backgrounds and Dali did
some work with Disney: Newer animations are marvels of digital animation at
times). Once you have a feel for your preferences, explore how you think and
feel when you look/listen/read what you like.

Whatever that last one is - the things you think and feel, however it changes
- is your emotional reaction.

I am an MFA with a lot of friends in STEM fields some of whom express similar
feelings. A couple of suggestions:

1\. Look for art that you connect with. Some people weep at the sight of a
Rothko, overcome by emotion, others say, "what the hell?"

2\. Find a guide. There are bad art classes but there are also great teachers
who can help you learn to see the "art" in the art. When I started I hated
Shakespeare but after learning to read the language it is now filled with
endless beauty

3\. Consider what in the world inspires you emotionally. A loved one,
mathematical concepts, food? Whatever it is that moves you probably has art
that it has inspired. Seek it out.

4\. Sometimes the spark of emotion gets buried pretty deep. At least 2
engineer friends have told me they have trouble with humor because their
training has taught them to dissect things in a very linear and methodical
fashion. If that fits you try let go of some of that from time to time.

5\. If you have ever been choked up by a TV commercial or a news story or a
film think about why and seek out art that explores those topics.

Best of luck to you. There is a lot of art out there from Peking opera to
Gregorian chants and from Chuck Close to Goya. You'll find your groove!!!

 Expand into early field. Maybe visual artwork isn't what you connect to- possibly 
 you find your connection with music or poetry. possibly you find you are a sucker 
 for good vivification (old Disney films get watercolor backgrounds and Dali did 
 some work with Disney: Newer animations are marvels of digital vivification at 
 times). Once you have a feel for your preference, explore how you think and 
 feel when you look / heed / read what you wish.
