Armand Merizon (1920 &ndash; 2010) was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and spent his early childhood in Grand Rapids. He began painting at the age of fifteen. &nbsp;Over the course of his\r\n
70-year career, Merizon painted with rigorous dedication despite the hardships of the Great Depression, personal financial destitution, and the physical maladies of macular degeneration, cancer, and arthritis. He was an inspiration to all who knew him, and left a legacy of creativity, integrity, and perseverance. Merizon&rsquo;s drawings and paintings can be found in the collections of the Grand Rapids Art Museum, Calvin College, and Grand Valley State University, as well as numerous other public and private collections.&nbsp; On display until December 7, 2012.\r\n

&ldquo;I hope I can leave something that is not just interesting or challenging, but that gives people a lift . . . on the one hand joy and on the other hand reverence.&rdquo; - Armand Merizon
