Susan Grisell Landscape Paintings
b. 1946
Susan Grisell is from New Milford, Connecticut, USA, and remained in pastoral Western Connecticut along the Housatonic River, where she found inspiration in the surrounding natural beauty. At age 13, she declared - I will become an artist. Much of her artistic influence came from her friend and colleague, the impressionist Bernard Lennon, with whom she studied until his death in 1992. She recalls, "In my teens I watched him paint - just watched - but that was how I started to learn." Both Lennon and Grisell shunned what was popular in art and painted what they wanted. Commercial success was not a driving force - they painted for the love of it. Grisell's paintings evoke feelings of peace and tranquility. She is completely self-taught, relying on a personal sense of aesthetics to produce works of great beauty. She works directly from nature - en plein air. In the early 2000s, Grisell traveled to Venice and Paris, where she found new inspiration for the subject matter and produced masterly cityscapes.

Johann Berthelsen was born in Copenhagen in 1883, the 7th of seven children, to Conrad and Dorothea Karen Berthelsen. His parents were involved in artistic and professional circles. In 1890, his mother brought the children to America, settling in Manistee, Michigan, with her sister's family. They would eventually move to Manitowoc, Wisconsin, a city on the shore of Lake Michigan. As a teenager, Johann was actively involved in choirs and singing groups. And he always loved to draw and paint, and while he was too impatient to take well to schoolwork, and never went beyond the 5th grade.
Although he worked in several trades, Johann's mind and heart were always with the arts. As his voice matured, he also always wanted to be an actor, and at the age of 18 moved to Chicago where he reconnected with an old friend who was studying voice at the Chicago Musical...
