Frederik Ebbesen Grue was born in Sherman Oaks, California in 1951 and was self-taught as a painter. While Grue was attending Portola Junior High School, he began painting and brought a few of his works to the Olson Art Gallery in Tarzana and asked if Paul Olson would be interested in exhibiting his work. He began working in the gallery as an apprentice shortly after. Later, his grandfather helped him get a job at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank where Grue worked as a matte painter for the film Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Grue lived and worked in Santa Paula from 1978 to 1982, teaching art workshops when he was not working on his own paintings. In 1982 he relocated to Muncie, Indiana. He began exhibiting in the Indianapolis area but continued to exhibit in California. He died of lymphoma in 1995 at the age of 44. He is well known for his realistic still life paintings, reminiscent of Dutch Realism paintings of seventeenth-century Holland.
