Halvard Storm

[1] He immigrated to the United States in 1901 and lived in the vibrant Norwegian-American enclave of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New York.

[2] He married Martha Louise Trilseth (born May 29, 1877, Eidsvoll, Norway) on February 10, 1906, at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Brooklyn.

[4] In the 1920s, he returned to Norway to live, but he traveled to the United States many times during subsequent decades.

Storm died on May 7, 1964, and is buried alongside his parents, three brothers, and both wives in Oslo's Vestre Gravlund.

Today, Storm's work can be found in auctions in Norway and the United States[10] and is sought-after for its authentic depiction of traditional Norwegian scenes from the last century.
