Else Thoresen (May 1, 1906 - 1994) was a Norwegian-American artist, who studied in Oslo at the Academy and in Brussels. While in Norway she met Danish artist Vilhelm Bjerke-Petersen and married him in 1935. As a result she lived and worked in Denmark for a decade, until she had to flee the Nazi occupation in 1944 and go to Sweden. After the war, she returned to the US and remained there.
