Fritz began painting after her great aunt, Ruth Buchmiller – an established artist, placed Fritz’s first paintbrush in her hand, a canvas in front of her and told her to paint a legendary North Dakota sunset. Fritz continued learning about colors and how to mix them from her mentor, RoseMary Landsburger.
