Bio/artist statement:
Deb Komitor was born and raised in Ohio. She spent her childhood enjoying the wealth of nature climbing trees and spending hours in creeks catching tadpoles and butterflies. Always drawing and creating Deb received a scholarship to attend Columbus College of Art and Design where she earned her BFA. She then went on to receive her MFA at Colorado State University where she fell in love with Colorado. Moving from the Midwest in 1997, she now resides in Colorado Springs with her husband Steve, her constant dog companions Indy and Zoe, and two feline critters. She creates her art in a large light filled studio located in an old school house built in 1902. Deb finds endless inspiration in all that surrounds her. Her landscape paintings express the joy, wonder and hope she feels in nature through a distinct style all her own. One feels the energy in each brushstroke as her paintings convey the forces and serenity in nature.
“Daring and daunting, the paintings of Deb Komitor put perspective at the forefront. As an artist whose interest primarily lies in depicting the natural realm, Komitor has the ability to articulate her point of view in a captivating and clear manner.
In her latest series she focuses her attention on the trees. From the ground up we see them in an abstract haze, the giants touching the sky. Each knot and twisting branch displays their unique characteristics, the individual idiosyncrasies. Komitor’s decision to portray these works in an almost pixelated fashion, asks the viewer to take a step back in order to see her works fully realized. This in turn draws you in and keeps you there. Her warm interpretations render you frozen, made to stay and take in the details.
Her vivid color choices accurately reflect the scenes she chooses to depict as well. At times they appear almost photographic, which again highlights the style in which she paints.” - Nicki Maggiore, Abend Gallery

Deb Komitor
Deb Komitor, born in 1957, is a contemporary American painter whose evocative landscapes capture the spiritual essence of natural environments, with a particular devotion to depicting trees and forests. Working primarily in oil on various supports and colored pencil for smaller formats, she employs a distinctive technique starting with black gesso grounds and building layers through individual brushstrokes that optically blend in the viewer's eye. After receiving her BFA from Columbus College of Art and Design (1980) and MFA from Colorado State University (1983), Komitor committed to full-time artistic practice in 1993 and settled permanently in Colorado Springs in 1997. Her work explores the complementary tensions found in nature—darkness and light, chaos and serenity—while aiming to evoke emotional responses of wonder and hope. Represented by Abend Gallery in Denver, Komitor has exhibited extensively throughout Colorado and the American West, receiving recognition including Legacy Artist status at the Colorado Governor's Art Show.

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...
