SCHIWETZ, EDWARD MUEGGE [BUCK] (1898–1984). E. M. (Buck) Schiwetz, artist, was born in Cuero, Texas, on August 24, 1898, the first child of William Berthold and Anna (Reiffert) Schiwetz. His father was a banker, and his mother was an artist, whose pencil drawings provided the earliest models for her son. Mary Louise Gramann, a china painter, also encouraged Schiwetz; her influence can be seen in the meticulous, dry strokes evident in his earliest work, Cabin in the Woods, which he painted at age twelve. - https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/fsc49

Mary Louise Gramann Art Studio
Mary Louise (Gramann) Smith, who often signed her work as "Pell" came from a family with a deep appreciation of art and music. She was the daughter of Henry Charles and Mary Anna Gramann, themselves avid musicians, which they each got from their respective parents.
Upon returning to Victoria in the Fall of 1913, Mary Louise opened her art studio in Cuero in Room 5 of the Buchel Building.
Another influential person in Buck’s life was Mary Louise Gramann, a china painter. His earliest painting was at age 12, titled “Cabin in the Woods," and is said to echo her style.
